Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].

Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, I support my noble friend Lord Marlesford, who has produced a serious argument in favour of the Government looking at what should be done about dual passports. I suspect that exceptions would have to be made for security reasons and other directions, but the principle behind what my noble friend is talking about must be correct. People who say that they believe that they belong to this country should not waft off under another country’s passport without us having any idea which country they are represented by. I hope that the Minister will be able to respond somewhat positively to my noble friend.
