The Minister of Justice has received a delegation of Deputies and Senators from the new Provinces, who urged him to speed up the reform of the Citizenship Law on the lines proposed by Deputy Rosenberg, one of the Jewish members of the Government Party, who recently introduced a bill with considerable backing from non-Jewish as well as Jewish Deputies and Senators, to give facilities for naturalisation to the large numbers of residents in the new Provinces who are at present Staatenlose. The Minister of Justice told the deputation that he is not entirely in favour of Deputy Rosenberg’s bill, but added that he would himself shortly bring in a bill which will give facilities for acquiring citizenship to those persons who were actually living in the new Provinces at the time of the Peace Treaties, but were not merely registered there.
