Irish Nationality and Citizenship Bill 2004: Committee Stage.

 

11:00 am

Derek McDowell (Labour)

There are different forms of British citizenship which can be conferred on people born in Commonwealth countries that were part of the empire. Does the entitlement we are enacting apply to all British citizens? There are some British citizens who do not have an entitlement to reside in Britain and presumably the right to be an Irish citizen would not be conferred on the children of those people.
