What is ‘deprivation of citizenship’?

  • Maintaining our national security and keeping the public safe are the government’s top priorities.
  • Removing someone’s British citizenship, also known as deprivation of citizenship, is used against those who obtained citizenship by fraud and against the most dangerous people, such as terrorists, extremists and serious organised criminals. It always comes with a right to appeal.
  • The power has been possible for over a century, since the 1914 British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act. It is currently contained within the British Nationality Act 1981 and can be used for two reasons.
