Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for how long citizens of South Africa may apply for citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies by procedures available to Commonwealth citizens.

Sir F. Soskice

Under the South Africa Act, 1962, all such applications must be made not later than 31st December, 1965, unless before that date the applicant gives formal notice of intention to apply when qualified. Otherwise citizens of South Africa who desire citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies will have to fulfil the requirements for naturalisation.
