star this property answer text <p>The British Nationality Act 1981 came into effect on 1 January 1983. The primary aim of that Act was to restrict citizenship to those with a close and continuing connection with the UK. Since 1983 a child born in the UK will only be a British citizen if either parent is a British citizen or settled in the UK. Those born in the UK who do not acquire citizenship automatically at birth are able to apply for registration as a British citizen, if their parent becomes British or settled, or following residence in the UK for the first 10 years of their life.</p><p> </p><p>There are no plans to change the law in this respect.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>There is no policy for prioritising nationality when deciding whether to deprive an individual with dual nationality of their British citizenship.</p><p>When making a decision to deprive an individual of British citizenship, the law requires that such a decision may not be made if it would make the individual stateless. This is compatible with the UK’s international obligations under the UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
