§ Mr. Alexander W. Lyonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will give from international sources a list of those countries which do not permit British citizens to have dual nationality.
§ Mr. RifkindThe information sought by the hon. Member is not available in consolidated form. Although our posts overseas keep us informed about the nationality laws of their host countries, we could not justify the research necessary to produce a definitive list of countries which do not permit dual nationality.
There are various forms of restrictions on dual nationality. Where it is necessary for Her Majesty's Government to establish the precise position of British nationals under the nationality law of another country, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office seek specific information from the authorities concerned.
