Make "English" as a Passport nationality for English born persons
People born in Wales have "Welsh" as their nationality, people born in Scotland have "Scottish" as their nationality, people born in Ireland have "Irish" as their nationality. Currently, people born in England are automatically classified as "British" - this is wrong and should be "English".
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
British citizens from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have British passports and are described in those passports as British citizens. It is therefore not clear what you would like to change.
Citizens of the Republic of Ireland have Irish passports because it is a separate sovereign state.
