The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)

Forty-two certificates of naturalisation have been revoked under the powers of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914, as amended by the Act of 1918. The Orders revoking the certificates are published in the "London Gazette," and contain the names of the persons affected and the reasons for revocation. It is proposed also to give similar particulars in the annual Parliamentary. Return as to Naturalisation. The Return for the year 1918 is in preparation, and will shortly be published.
