Require Government Ministers to hold sole British citizenship
Cabinet ministers make decisions of the highest importance, including on defence, foreign policy, and national security. Holding citizenship of another nation may create perceived or actual conflicts of interest and can undermine public trust in government decision-making.

Background
We believe that by requiring sole British citizenship for these senior roles, we can safeguard national security, strengthen public confidence in Government accountability & ensure undivided loyalty to the United Kingdom.
We believe this measure will protect the integrity of government and ensure that the highest offices of state are held by those with exclusive allegiance to the UK. Exclusive UK citizenship ensures Cabinet decisions are free from potential foreign influence or divided loyalty.
