For reasons of national security, it would not be appropriate to provide a breakdown of the total number of cases, or the number of cases specifically concerning people resident in the UK, that are currently under consideration for deprivation of their British citizenship on the basis that such action is conducive to the public good under section 40(2).

Where deprivation is on fraud grounds, we do not hold the data required to answer the question in the requested format.
