The British Nationality (Irish Citizens) Bill, introduced by DUP's Gavin Robinson, advances in the House of Commons, providing a route to British citizenship for Irish citizens.
The British Nationality (Irish Citizens) Bill, introduced by DUP's Gavin Robinson, is moving closer to becoming law after clearing the House of Commons. The legislation would allow Irish people to acquire British citizenship by registration after five years of residence without having to sit a citizenship test, completing a missing "piece of the puzzle" in the Good Friday Agreement, as it provides a route to British citizenship for Irish citizens. The bill will undergo scrutiny in the House of Lords at a later date.
