HC Deb 12 July 1983 vol 45 cc292-3W
Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to be able to write to the hon. and learned Member for Leicester, West concerning the use to which he intends to put the profit resulting from the increase in nationality fees since April 1982.

Mr. Waddington

My right hon. and learned Friend is considering the assertion that a profit has arisen since April 1982 in the overall context of the third report of the Home Affairs Committee — Session 1982–83. I will write to the hon. and learned Member as soon as I can after this consideration is completed.

Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many representations he has received during the past 12 months concerning fees for British citizenship; and from whom.

Mr. Waddington

In the 12 months from July 1982 to June 1983 we have received 46 letters from Members and former Members of this House and from members of the public about citizenship fees. In addition, 26 letters have been received from various organisations.
