HC Deb 14 November 1977 vol 939 c30W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce amending legislation to ensure that all children shall have the right to inherit British nationality from either parent, if one is British, regardless of the place of birth.

Dr. Summerskill

The discussion paper on British nationality law presented last April stated that the Government did not intend to introduce early legislation on the subject.

We are still receiving views on the questions raised in the paper, of which the transmission of citizenship is one of the most important.
