answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2019 answer text <p>​The Government regrets the US decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions on Iran. Humanitarian goods are not subject to either US or EU sanctions. We are, nevertheless, working with our European partners on mechanisms to support continued trade in humanitarian goods, such as pharmaceutical exports. Following the re-imposition of US sanctions in November 2018 it is too early to make an assessment of the effect on public health outcomes in Iran.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 09/01/2019 14:58:57 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

tabling member constituency	Edinburgh South
tabling member printed	Ian Murray
uin	205253
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2019 answer text <p>The British Nationality Act 1981 defines who is a British citizen. A person who is of the first generation born outside the United Kingdom to a British citizen would usually be a British citizen by descent. There is no difference in the quality of citizenship between those who are British citizens by descent and those who acquire it by birth, registration or naturalisation in the UK. All have the same rights and access to services in the UK or consular services while overseas.</p><p>A person who is a British citizen by descent cannot usually pass on that citizenship to a child born overseas unless they were in Crown service at the time of the child’s birth. However, if children are born overseas to a British citizen by descent, the legislation contains provisions for a child to be registered where a continuing connection with the United Kingdom is demonstrated.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 09/01/2019 16:20:44 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
