§ Sir Teddy TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the application for citizenship made by Mrs. Mehar of Southend, which was acknowledged by the IND of 28 February 2001, Reference M1103724CQ, to be determined; and if he will invite the IND to remove from such acknowledgments the phrase passed to a case worker who will contact you shortly. [32262]
§ Angela EagleMrs. Mehar's application was received on 15 December 2000. It has now reached its turn for consideration and she has been asked to submit documentary evidence to confirm her eligibility for naturalisation as a British citizen. Once consideration has begun, decisions are normally made within six months.
The wording of the acknowledgment letter has already been amended to reflect changes in the way naturalisation cases are handled.
