There is confusion in this matter. When one is asked to specify one’s nationality, and if one has a British passport, the first thing that one puts is ““British subject, citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies””. There is a difference between nationality and citizenship. For example, only last month India conferred citizenship provisions on people living abroad, but that citizenship does not grant them all the nationality rights. So if one takes away a person’s citizenship in this country, where is that person to go? I do not believe that that question will be answered.
