Written answers
An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 20 January 2006. The statutory declaration at the end of the application form was incorrectly completed and was returned to the applicant on 1 February 2006. The application was resubmitted on 6 February 2006 but the statutory declaration was still incorrectly completed. The application was again returned to the person concerned on 27 February last and has not been relodged with the citizenship section to date. When a valid application is received in my Department, I will give due consideration to the matters raised in the correspondence accompanying the Deputy's question.
