The person referred to by the Deputy applied for a certificate of naturalisation in January 2003 and I decided to refuse the application. The reason for my decision was disclosed to the individual concerned in a letter dated 10 July 2006. It is open to the person in question to submit a further application at any time provided he satisfies the relevant statutory conditions. In doing so, however, he should give due regard to my reasons for refusing the previous application.
