Labour — Ealing Southall

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 June 2025

Debate

Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Bill

Contribution

Southall Community Alliance in my constituency has long been a defender of human rights. Would the Minister confirm to the alliance that this Bill means we will continue to use the power to deprive people of their citizenship very sparingly, and that there will be no changes to the existing right of appeal or any widening of the reasoning under which we would deprive somebody of their citizenship in this country?
