question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether an Irish citizen born in Ireland with an English mother is entitled to apply for a British passport.
tabling member printed	Lord Forsyth of Drumlean
uin	HL11239
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2018 answer text <p>To apply for a British passport, a person must first hold a form of British nationality. Irish nationals born after 1949 can generally become British citizens if one of their parents held British citizenship at the time of their birth and was able to pass that status on. Mothers could only pass on British nationality from 1 January 1983.</p><p>Where they do not hold British nationality, Irish nationals with a British citizen parent are able to apply for naturalisation or registration as a British citizen provided they meet the statutory requirements.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL11240 question first answered 16/11/2018 11:31:13 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
