Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 June 2025

Debate

Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Bill

Contribution

I am going to make a little bit of progress, if I may. I will give way in a moment, but I want to address the point that has been raised. There are very good reasons why the Government may wish to stop citizenship being regained until all appeals are determined, withdrawn or abandoned. These include to prevent someone who is outside the UK and who poses a risk to our national security from returning when a further appeal may be upheld pending the Home Secretary’s decision, or to prevent a person from renouncing their other nationality and putting themselves in a position where, if further appeals are successful, a further deprivation order would not be possible as it would unlawfully render them stateless.
