HC Deb 29 March 1939 vol 345 c2028
29. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will take steps to enable foreigners who have resided in Mandated Territories for at least five years to apply for and receive British naturalisation?

Sir T. Inskip

His Majesty's Government are considering the introduction of legislation which, if passed, would enable residents in Mandated Territories to become eligible for naturalisation as British subjects. It is not yet possible to say when such legislation is likely to be introduced.
