MPs to look at issues of nationality and citizenship in a separate Scotland

20 December 2012

The Scottish Affairs Committee will be continuing to examine the potential effects of Scotland’s separation from the United Kingdom by looking at the issues of nationality and citizenship.

A separate Scotland would have to define a new nationality and citizenship status and this would have implications for citizenship in the remainder of the UK.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday 9 January at 2.30pm in Committee Room 6, Palace of Westminster.
