asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why, following his statement about increases in the fees for registration or naturalisation, Official Report, 10 March, c. 423–24, the necessary forms were not made available until the increases had come into effect, thus imposing additional charges of £20 and £50, respectively, with immediate effect.

Forms were available to meet demands from individual applicants, but if the hon. Member has a particular case in mind I shall be glad to look into it.
