HC Deb 08 May 1981 vol 4 c157W
Mr. Tilley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases he or his predecessors have held a purported grant of citizenship by registration or naturalisation under the Nationality Act 1948 to have been void ab inito on grounds such as those upheld by the courts in the cases of Sultan Mahmood and Parveh Atektar.

Mr. Raison

63 registrations as citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies have been regarded as nullities on the basis of the criteria established by the courts in the cases of Sultan Mahmood and Parvaz Akhtar.
