§ Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Home Secretary whether he will arrange for an early resumption of British nationality by the Reverend Morgan Griffith, working in the London diocese, all papers having been with the Home Office since August last?
§ Sir J. AndersonThis application was made on 15th September last. As I explained on 23rd November, in reply to a Question by the hon. and gallant Member for Cambridge shire (Captain Briscoe) a great many applications for naturalisation were outstanding at the outbreak of war, and, in order to avoid unfairness, these are being dealt with in rotation. There appear to be no grounds on which I could properly give Mr. Griffith's application priority over other applications.
