§ Mr. J. E. B. Hillasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his estimate of the numbers of former aliens and of the numbers of former British-protected persons who hold certificates of naturalisation received elsewhere than in the United Kingdom; and how many of those are estimated to be currently resident in the United Kingdom, and how many in Kenya.
§ Mr. EnnalsThe numbers of certificates of naturalisation granted in Colonies or British protectorates since 1st January, 1915, are given below. It is not known how many are alive, still citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies, and resident in the United Kingdom or in Kenya.
1915–1948 inclusive Total of aliens and British protected persons. (Separate figures are not available. In addition a number of certificates of naturalisation were granted which at the time had only local effect but which by the British Nationality Act 1948 have conferred full citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies. Figures are not available) 4,650 1949–1967 inclusive Aliens 29,970 British protected persons 4,304 38,924 (Figures for 1914 and earlier years are no available.)
