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 April 2006. Officials in the Citizenship section forwarded this file to my predecessor for a decision in August 2006 and he decided to refuse the application. A letter informing the person of the reasons for this refusal was issued on 5 October 2006. It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
