§ Mr. GoodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when a decision about the application for naturalisation by Mr. S. Al Assadi, ref: A1078595, will be made. [116613]
§ Beverley HughesA decision cannot be reached until the inquiries, which are undertaken to ensure that the statutory requirements for naturalisation have been met, are completed. I am unable to say how long these inquiries are likely to take: it may, however, be some months.
