HC Deb 14 November 1917 vol 99 cc407-8W
Mr. BILLING

asked the Home Secretary if he can give information as to what course is taken if and when, after having received his certificate of naturalisation, an alien refuses to make the customary representations of loyalty and to take the oath of allegiance to the Crown?

Sir G. CAVE

If an alien who receives a certificate of naturalisation does not take the oath of allegiance within the period limited by the certificate, the naturalisation does not take effect.
