Terror suspects may lose UK citizenship and become 'stateless' as Home Secretary Theresa May faces fresh pressure over controls.
She wants to find a way around international rules which mean someone cannot be left without citizenship of any country.
The move comes as she faces fresh pressure over the disappearance of suspects placed under terrorism prevention and investigation measures.
As part of wider reforms Mrs May reportedly wants to be able to remove terror suspects from Britain altogether by removing their British citizenship.
At least 20 terror suspects have had their British passports torn up on national security grounds to stop them entering the country, it emerged today.
In the two years to February this year, Mrs May stripped British citizenship from 16 individuals who had dual nationality considered to pose a threat to the UK.
Rules in place for a decade allow ministers to act to revoke passports in a bid to target the so-called ‘enemy within’.
The Home Office said: 'The government will take all necessary steps to protect the public, including pursuing deprivation of citizenship, where appropriate.'
The Labour Party objects to this change in policy.
