answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2016 answer text <p>Everyone who returns from taking part in the conflict in Syria or Iraq should expect to be subject to review by the police to determine if they have committed criminal offences abroad, and to ensure that they do not pose a threat to our national security.</p><p>British citizens and residents who commit offences abroad can be prosecuted under a wide range of terrorism and other criminal law offences including training for terrorism and murder. Decisions on charging are taken independently on a case-by-case basis by the Crown Prosecution Service.</p><p>The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 introduced a power under which the Secretary of State may impose a temporary exclusion order (TEO) on a British citizen suspected of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the UK. The TEO enables the Government temporarily to disrupt and control the individual’s return to the UK.</p><p>In addition, section 40(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981, empowers the Secretary of State to make an order depriving any person of any form of British citizenship status, if this would not result in the person deprived of citizenship being left stateless. This power can be used in response to activities threatening national security, which includes acts of terrorism. Deprivation of British citizenship results in simultaneous loss of the right of abode in the United Kingdom.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 21/03/2016 13:39:03 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
