§ The Prime MinisterI am publishing Sir Anthony Hammond's report today. I am most grateful to Sir Anthony Hammond for all his work.
Sir Anthony Hammond is satisfied that nothing improper has occurred in relation to the application for naturalisation by Mr. S. P. Hinduja. Sir Anthony Hammond has found that the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, my hon. Friend the Member for North Warwickshire (Mr. O'Brien), the Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, my hon. Friend the Member for Leicester, East (Mr. Vaz), and my right hon. Friend the Member for Hartlepool (Mr. Mandelson) behaved entirely properly throughout.
Sir Anthony Hammond also recommends improvements to administrative practice which the Government will implement in full.
I have placed a copy of the report in the Libraries of both Houses. Copies are available from the Vote Office.
