§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Home Secretary whether the practice of his Department is to discriminate against the application for naturalisation on the part of men of Polish nationality, including those of long residence in and domiciled in this country; and whether, seeing that such discrimination is harmful to this country's interests, he proposes to take ally, and what, steps to remove the 710W grievance referred to and to expedite the examination of applications which have stood over for years?
§ Mr. SHORTTI am not prepared to make any such statement as is asked for in regard to my method of discharging the duty vested in me by Statute of giving or withholding certificates of naturalisation, without assigning any reason, as I think most conducive to the public good.
