The average annual number of aliens naturalised during the ten years before the War, 1904–1913, was 963. The number naturalised in 1919 was 1,417, and in 1920, up to 30th November, 2,171. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer, to my reply on the 2nd instant to a similar question by the hon. Member for Central Portsmouth.
