The persons referred to in the Deputy's Question applied for certificates of naturalisation in April 2004 and I decided to refuse such applications. The reason for my decision was disclosed to the individuals concerned in letters dated 14 January 2008. It is open to the individuals mentioned to lodge new applications at any time provided they satisfy the relevant statutory conditions. In doing so, however, they should give due regard to my reasons for refusing the previous applications.
