HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 c264W
Major A. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the present policy regarding the naturalisation of aliens and in particular enemy and ex-enemy aliens who are refugees in this country.

Mr. Ede

Naturalisation has been generally suspended since June, 1940, except for the cases of married women who are eligible for readmission to British nationality, and a very few exceptional cases where the naturalisation of an alien has been necessary to fulfil some specific requirement in the national interest.
