Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many UK citizens renounced their citizenship in each year since 2012.

Statistics of the number of British citizens renouncing their British citizenship are not routinely published separately but are included in total figures for renunciations of British nationality, which include other forms of British nationality such as British National (Overseas). The available published information of grants and refusals of renunciation of British nationality is published in the quarterly Immigration Statistics, Citizenship table cz_10, the latest edition of which is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-june-2018/list-of-tables#citizenship
