  @ MP voted tellno against allowing the Secretary of State to deprive a naturalised British citizen of their citizenship even if doing so would make them stateless.
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted to allow the Secretary of State to deprive a naturalised British citizen of their citizenship even if doing so would make them stateless. Such a depreviation of citizenship would only be permitted if the Secretary of State was satisfied that the deprivation was conducive to the public good. 
  
  The majority of MPs were also approving the charging of fees for particular appointments with immigration officials held outside the UK and arranged at the request of "clients". 
  
  MPs were considering the Immigration Bill[1]. The motion approved in this vote was:
  
  :That new clauses 12 and 18 be added to the Bill.
  
  New Clause 12[2] was titled: "Power to charge fees for attendance services in particular cases"; and provides for fees to be charged for appointments with officials which have been requested by "clients" and which take place outside the UK. 
  
  New Clause 18[2] was titled: "Deprivation of citizenship: conduct seriously prejudicial to vital interests of the UK"; and provides for the Home Secretary to remove citizenship from those whose citizenship derives from naturalisation whose behaviour the Home Secretary considers "seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the United Kingdom, any of the Islands, or any British overseas territory", even if doing so would make an individual stateless. 
  
  
  Prior to the deputy speaker who was chairing proceedings ruled both clauses had to be voted on together.[3]
