An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship section of my Department in March 2004. Officials in that section submitted the application for a decision in June 2006 and my predecessor decided to refuse the application. The reasons for the decision were disclosed to the applicant in a letter dated 17 July 2006. It is open to the person in question to lodge a fresh application if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
