HC Deb 18 February 1975 vol 886 cc362-3W
Mr. Tinn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has reviewed the fees for the grant of citizenship to foreign nationals and to Commonwealth citizens.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Yes. In view of increased costs I have decided to raise the fee for naturalisation from £30 to £40, and I am also introducing a fee of £10 for the registration of Commonwealth citizens as citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies. There will, however, be no charges for children under 18. These changes will apply to applications received on or after 4th April 1975.
