entitled to all political and other rights, powers and privileges,
and be subject to all obligations, duties and liabilities to which

status of a natural-born British subject.

This section applies, among other things, to membership of the Privy Council or either House of Parliament, or to "any office or place of trust either civil or military."
The power given to the Secretary of State to revoke any naturalisation certificate obtained by false representation or fraud is contained in
