HC Deb 17 October 1946 vol 427 cc257-8W
113. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment, whether it is his intention to amend the term "Nationality of Origin" on certificates of identity issued to many foreigners and record citizenship at birth and nationality, as an alternative, to avoid the present confusion.

Mr. Ede

These certificates of identity are issued in an internationally agreed form to facilitate journeys abroad of foreigners in this country who are unable to obtain national passports. In most cases such persons are stateless and there is no present nationality to record.
