British Passports For UK Residents
EDM number 737 in 2005-06, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 11/10/2005.
That this House acknowledges the significant anomaly which exists in Northern Ireland whereby people in Northern Ireland who were not born in the Republic of Ireland can choose to have an Irish passport with no naturalisation process being required, while those born in the Republic since 1949, but living for many years since in Northern Ireland paying UK taxes and voting in UK elections can only choose to have a British passport after going through such a naturalisation process; and calls upon the Government to rectify this anomaly as a matter of urgency.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
