British terror suspects would be stripped of their passports and made "stateless", under plans backed by the Home Secretary.
Theresa May wants to amend a clause which means the Government is banned from removing a UK passport if it would effectively leave a person stateless.
She wants the power to take away the passport of a person if they have acted in a way that is "seriously prejudicial to the interests of the UK".
It follows a Supreme Court ruling which ordered Mrs May to return a UK passport to an Iraqi terror suspect accused of plotting to blow up soldiers.
Judges said it was unlawful to remove the passport of Hilal al Jedda because it would have left him stateless.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "The government will take all necessary steps to protect the public, including pursuing deprivation of citizenship, where appropriate."
Yvette Cooper wants terror suspects to be relocated across the country The proposals come after terror suspect Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who was subject to a terrorism prevention and investigation measure (Tpim), fled a London mosque in a burka.
Mrs May said at the time his passport had been seized but was later forced to admit she had made a mistake and that police did not have his passport.
The shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, has urged that powers to relocate terror suspects to other parts of the country must be revived in the wake of his disappearance.
Ms Cooper has written to Mrs May saying the powers to forcibly move suspects across the country, which were available under the previous control orders, should be reinstated.
Mohamed was relocated to Ipswich, in Suffolk, when he was subject to a control order but returned to London when the restriction was lifted.
Mohamed fled the London mosque dressed in a burka Ms Cooper's letter has been published ahead of a Home Affairs Select Committee session with the independent reviewer of terror legislation David Anderson QC and Charles Farr, director general of the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism within the Home Office.
In her letter, the shadow home secretary said: "No terror suspect under a relocation order ever managed to abscond.
"Now two terror suspects who were previously relocated and then returned because of your decision have absconded.
"Your decision, against advice and warnings, to end relocations has made it much easier for two dangerous men to disappear."
Ms Cooper asks the Home Secretary to agree to re-introduce the power to relocate terror suspects and pledges "cross party" support.
Ministers are reportedly reviewing the Tpims and are considering whether to stop suspects from visiting mosques suspected of preaching hardline religious views.
Last week, it emerged Mohamed had been twice remanded in custody for allegedly breaching controls imposed on him.
