HC Deb 01 March 1976 vol 906 cc466-7W
Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will amend the British Nationality Acts so as to permit a British mother to pass on her nationality to her children, even though they were not born on British territory.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The question whether the law should be amended to provide that nationality should descend in the female line is among those being considered in the review of nationality law now in progress.
