British Nationality: Applications
Mrs. Gillan:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for British citizenship are (a) being processed and (b) awaiting processing, broken down by applicant country of origin. [264661]
Mr. Woolas:
The following table in provides an analysis of the current British citizenship application work in progress recorded on the UKBA computer system. This includes applications received on or before 7 March.
Applications received after that date are awaiting input and UKBA is unable to report upon these data until it has captured the information on the application form electronically. Therefore the information requested in part (b), could be obtained only by the detailed examination of individual case records at disproportionate cost.
The information has been provided from local management information and is not a National Statistic. As such, it should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change.
