HC Deb 23 November 1987 vol 123 c54W
Mr. Livingstone

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the deadline for receipt of form E which is necessary for a citizen of the Republic of Ireland to remain a British subject; and whether, if enough printed forms are not available, photocopied forms will be acceptable.

Mr. Renton

There is no deadline for citizens of the Republic of Ireland claiming to remain a British subject under section 31 of the British Nationality Act 1981. Sufficient quantities of form E, which may be used for this purpose, are available.
