British Nationality

Asked by Mr Joshua ReynoldsLiberal DemocratHome OfficeTabled Answered 22 December 2025UIN 99471

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been deprived of their British citizenship in each year since 2020; and how many of those (a) were born British citizens, (b) became stateless as a result, and (c) had their citizenship restored following an appeal.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office publishes data on the number of citizenship deprivation orders. These reports are available on Gov.UK as part of the HMG Counter-Terrorism Disruptive Powers reports and the Immigration and Protection transparency data

However, the full information requested could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.
