2/ Javid’s options if Begum wants to return:
- Revoke citizenship but only if she has alternative citizenship as otherwise stateless
- temporary exclusion order
- let her return and prosecute/not prosecute
- Revoke citizenship but only if she has alternative citizenship as otherwise stateless
- temporary exclusion order
- let her return and prosecute/not prosecute
