HC Deb 09 January 2003 vol 397 c313W
Keith Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the backlog is of applications for nationality. [88567]

Beverley Hughes

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave on 10 December 2002,Official Report, column 237W, which stated that information on the number of cases outstanding was not available.

This is because information on the number of applications for nationality outstanding is not routinely published.
