§ 8. Mr. John E. Haireasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will no longer require naturalised persons, now British subjects, to state their former nationality on official documents.
§ Mr. EdeThe requirement that the former alien status of a naturalised British subject should be entered on his National Registration identity card lapsed with the revocation in May, 1945, of Defence Regulation 20AA. I do not know to what other requirement my hon. Friend is referring. If he has in mind certain requirements under the Companies Act, 1929, and the Registration of Business Names Act, these are not matters for me but for my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade.
