§ Mr. BaldryTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how long on average it is taking to process applications for British naturalisation; and when he would expect an application lodged in March 1988 to be resolved.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe average time taken to complete applications for naturalisation during September 1989 was 24 months. It is not possible to give a reliable estimate of the average time likely to be taken to complete applications received at any particular date.
