§ Miss Joan Lestorasked the Lord Privy Seal, pursuant to the reply of 19 February to the hon. member for Eton and Slough, Official Report, c. 359, in what circumstances the date of a husband's death will have a bearing on the nationality of a widow who has acquired British citizenship through marriage.
§ Mr. LuceA woman who acquires the citizenship of a former dependency on independence is excepted from loss of citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies if, at that time, she is the wife of a man who retains his United Kingdom citizenship. The exception does not extend to widows. It is in these circumstances that the date of her husband's death has a bearing on a widow's nationality.
