Lord Stoddart of Swindon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Lord Williams of Mostyn on 15 June (WA 111) whether, in the event of Mr. Al Fayed's current application for British citizenship being refused, they will, in the public interest, publish the reasons for such refusal, together with the reasons for previous refusals, as well as informing Mr. Al Fayed. [HL2374]

No. It is not our practice to disclose information concerning individual applications for British citizenship.
