The Isle of Man has the second lowest rate of people applying to be British citizens, according to statistics from the UK government.
Labour’s Secretary of State for the Home Department, Phil Woolas, gave a set of figures in Parliament as a written answer to a question from Regent's Park & Kensington North MP Karen Buck.
She asked how many people had applied to become British from each of the UK’s local authority areas.
And in the statistics is the Isle of Man – with one of the lowest levels in Britain.
Last year, there were just five applications from people who wanted to become British – and over the last three years there have been just 20 applications.
Only Rutland County Council’s figures are lower. Nobody has applied for citizenship there in two years.
And three other authorities - Redcar and Cleveland, Hartlepool and Halton – drew with the Island in 2008, with five applications each.
Nationally, the number of people becoming new British citizens fell from 39,845 in 2007 to 29,950 last year.
