This report released by the Runnymede Trust and Reprieve shows that up to nine million people are vulnerable to having their British citizenship stripped, three million more than previously estimated. People of colour are twelve times as likely to be at risk as their white peers.

This research draws on new census data, the Annual Population Survey and Home Office parental records to bring the estimate up to date. It reveals a shocking racial disparity: three in five people of colour are vulnerable to being deprived of citizenship, compared to just one in twenty of their white neighbours.
