Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness D'Souza (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

My Lords, having listened with great care to a number of Lords speak about Clause 9, I think it is accepted that citizenship of the UK is an enormous privilege, but it is also a right. It seems that, despite the wonderful amendments tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Anderson, there remain sufficient loopholes in Clause 9 for it to become, once on the statute book, a hostage to fortune. In view of that, I would like to test the opinion of the House.
