HC Deb 27 March 1919 vol 114 cc575-6
17. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Home Secretary whether the Atkin Committee on the Naturalisation of Aliens has completed its work; if so, how many cases have been investigated and with what results?

Mr. SHORTT

The Certificates of Naturalisation (Revocation) Committee is a Standing Committee, and I cannot say when its work will be completed. Up to the present time it has reached a decision in 187 cases, and fifteen certificates have been revoked as a result of its investigations. A considerable number of cases are still under consideration by the Committee.

Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

Is any report to be made to this House of the cases investigated, and the cases in which revocation has taken place?

Mr. SHORTT

I think they are published in the "Gazette," but I will look into the matter.
