Citizenship (Armed Forces) Bill (Ways and Means)

Jim Shannon Excerpts

Tuesday 29th October 2013 Commons Chamber

[Jim Shannon (Strangford) (DUP)]

This is a straightforward proposal. Along with the residence requirements for naturalisation comes the process of charging fees. It is only right that everyone in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should have to pay those fees, and members of Her Majesty’s armed forces or the diplomatic service overseas should also have to pay them. This measure concludes the price issue, and forms the last piece of the Citizenship (Armed Forces) Bill.

Question put and agreed to.
