§ Mr. Perkinsasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that Messrs. R. A. Lister and Company, of Dursley, employ a Dr. Bondi; that this firm is anxious for some immediate decision as to his naturalisation in order that he can travel abroad on a British passport on their behalf; and whether some decision can be arrived at this week in order to allow him to travel to Rumania?
§ Mr. PeakeMy right hon. Friend cannot accept the suggestion that the convenience of having a British passport for purpose of travel is a ground for granting the privilege of British nationality. The case, however, is being considered on its merits and there will be no delay in reaching a decision.
