Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister again. It was my intention to divide the House on this particular matter, but neither the Government nor the Opposition Benches would forgive me if I were to do so at this late stage. I do not intend to go any further other than simply to say this to the Minister: having attended some of the citizenship ceremonies that are being held up and down the country, I wonder if the Minister could give some thought not only to telling people what citizenship is all about, but also how citizenship could be taken away when they are disloyal to this country? I think we can put that argument forward in order that people are aware of their obligations and duties. I do not think we will get any further. The Minister has been kind enough to give a lot of leeway in a number of previous amendments. In light of that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 12 not moved.] Clause 57 [Deprivation of right of abode]: [Amendment No. 13 not moved.] Clause 58 [Acquisition of British nationality, &c.]:
