Baroness Anelay of St Johns

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made by the committee chaired by Sir Bernard Crick on citizenship; when the committee will report to Ministers; and when the committee's report will be published. [HL761]

Lord Filkin

The advisory group chaired by Sir Bernard Crick is due to meet for the fifth time in mid-January 2003 and intends submitting an interim report to Ministers shortly thereafter. Sir Bernard has already consulted a number of interested parties and there will be a further round of informal consultation early in the new year. The group hopes to make a final report around Easter 2003.
