<p>Under section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981, the Secretary of State is
empowered to deprive, by order, any person of any form of British <br>nationality,
subject to satisfying the relevant criteria. The Secretary of State may deprive somebody
of their British citizenship if satisfied that such deprivation is conducive to the
public good or the individual obtained British citizenship by means of fraud, false
representation or concealment of a material fact. Since April 2014, seven people have
been deprived of their citizenship on the grounds that it was either conducive to
the public good to do so, or that the individual concerned obtained their British
citizenship by means of fraud, false representation or concealment of a material fact.
No cases have been deprived under subsection (4A) of that section.<br><br>Please note:
