Mr. Gordon Prentice
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce a ceremony to mark the award of UK citizenship. [81353]
Mr. Straw
As I indicated in a lecture on Citizenship which I gave in Liverpool on 12 April, I am in principle in favour of such ceremonies. I have asked officials to look into the possibility of introducing them into the United Kingdom. Upon completion of their examination, I shall make a statement to the House.
