New border rules for British dual nationals need to be quickly shut down, say Lib Dems
AI Summary
The Liberal Democrats are urging the UK Home Secretary to delay new border control rules set to begin Wednesday that could prevent British dual nationals from entering the country. The new rules require British dual nationals to present a valid or expired British passport or a certificate of entitlement to enter the UK. Concerns have been raised that the changes were poorly communicated and could impact British citizens who may not have a British passport, including families attending funerals or visiting dying relatives. Former Conservative cabinet minister David Davis also called for a grace period, citing a surge in online searches for passport information. The Liberal Democrats argue that British citizens should not be denied entry to their own country due to administrative changes.
