Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Friday, 12 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crown Employment (Nationality) Bill 2008-09.


Crown Employment (Nationality) Bill

As the hon. Gentleman knows, I have heard most of these arguments several times before, and indeed have advanced similar arguments myself. I wonder whether he has yet found an answer to another conundrum which I threw at him back in 2007. What happens when a Commonwealth citizen who, as he says, is entitled to be employed by the Crown, is so employed and his country then secedes or is suspended from membership of the Commonwealth? Must that person then resign his post?
