Telegraph: Last year the total number of applications for citizenship approved by the government was 129,310 compared with 37,010 when Labour came to power in 1997.
In the first three months of 2009, 54,615 bids for passports were approved – a 57 per cent rise on the same period in 2008, it was reported.
