British Nationality

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for citizenship were made in each year since 2009 from males recruited into the armed forces from Belize; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

Information on whether individuals from Belize have been recruited into the armed forces and applied for British citizenship was not aggregated in national reporting systems prior to November 2012. This information could be obtained only by a disproportionately expensive manual case by case search to collate the data.

There are no such applications recorded since November 2012.
