Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I am not sure that I quite understand what the noble Lord, Lord Hylton, is getting at with that question. In all cases of deprivation of British citizenship, we would not create a situation where somebody was stateless. Therefore, Clause 53 is relevant to those who are dual nationals. Clause 54 refers to those who have right of abode. The noble Baroness, Lady Carnegy, said that if we removed their right of abode, they would be stateless. They would not be stateless, because the reason that they have right of abode is that they have citizenship elsewhere. As the noble Lord, Lord Dholakia, said, they are given right of abode by nature of their status.
