Hungary

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with his (a) EU and (b) Hungarian counterparts on the issuance of Hungarian passports to ethnic Hungarians who are not Hungarian nationals or resident in Hungary; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

The UK Government have not discussed this issue either with EU or Hungarian counterparts. The UK believes that regulations on citizenship are a matter for each member state and it would therefore be inappropriate to comment on Hungarian domestic legislation in this area.
