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 October 2003. When my predecessor considered the application of the person in question in April 2007, it was decided to defer making a final decision in this case until mid 2008. The person concerned was notified of this position and the reasons for it. I expect the file will be forwarded to me in the coming months for a decision. I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned when I have reached a decision on the matter.
