Recommendation 11

11

The UK uses deprivation of citizenship orders more than almost any country in the world.

Conclusion
The UK uses deprivation of citizenship orders more than almost any country in the world. At the same time that it is important for the Government to be able to take steps such as citizenship stripping in the interests of public safety, there is a serious lack of transparency and oversight when it comes to the use of this power. (Conclusion, Paragraph 76)
