§ Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what changes he expects to make in the procedures related to application for naturalisation to become British citizens consequent to the implementation of the treaty on European union; and what information he has on the principal differences in the procedures adopted from those of other member states.
§ Mr. Charles WardleMy right hon. and learned Friend has no plans to amend the requirements for naturalisation. He is aware of the broad principles governing naturalisation in member states of the European Community.
