HC Deb 03 August 1978 vol 955 c517W
Mrs. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he is considering to allow children born to British women living temporarily overseas to have British nationality.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

As was indicated in paragraph 39 of the Green Paper on nationality law (Cmnd. 6795) the Government consider that when the law is amended provision should be made for British women to transmit citizenship on the same terms as men.
