Secondly, my right hon. Friend the Member for North West Hampshire (Kit Malthouse) is absolutely right to point out, with amendment 1, that there is a balance to be struck. It goes without saying that deprivation of citizenship has a cost—in some cases, a very large one—for those who are deprived of their citizenship. Used improperly, it also has a cost for the rule of law, trust in our system and the delicate balances involved when we welcome people to make this country their home. He is right to counsel us to take this extremely seriously, as I believe the Minister does.
