A Bill to require the Secretary of State to deprive a person of citizenship if they have been convicted of an offence relating to national security in the United Kingdom or abroad and have subsequently promoted terrorism or violence in public; and for connected purposes.
The bill would require the Secretary of State to strip someone of British citizenship if they have been convicted of a national security offence (in the UK or abroad) and then publicly promote terrorism or violence. It is aimed at preventing individuals considered a security threat from retaining citizenship, by linking a prior national security conviction with later public promotion of terrorism or violence.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move on to committee stage and further readings.
