Citizenship (Armed Forces) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Guy Opperman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 13 September 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Citizenship (Armed Forces) Bill.

May I draw my hon. Friend back to the Bill? Surely the point is that this country, whose virtues she is extolling, has a long history of support by overseas troops and forces to win key battles. Waterloo would not have been won without the Prussians, Wellington famously crying, “Where is Blucher?” I presume General Blucher could have applied, were he willing to change from Prussian to British, to become a British citizen.
