A valid application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in April 2007. I decided in my absolute discretion to grant a certificate of naturalisation and the person in question was informed of that decision in a letter issued to him on 18 November, 2009. Officials in the Citizenship Division inform me that documentation was requested to finalise his application on 11 December, 2009. On receipt of the requested documentation a certificate of naturalisation will issue to the person concerned.
