Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Act 2025

This Act changes when deprivation of citizenship orders take effect in cases where someone appeals the decision. Currently, when the government strips someone of British citizenship, the order typically takes effect immediately, even while they appeal. This bill would allow deprivation orders to take effect during the appeal process rather than waiting for all appeals to be exhausted. The change affects the timing and procedural framework for one of the most serious powers available to the state regarding citizenship status.
