The available information published on the number of total applications made for British citizenship by nationality is in the Home Office’s Immigration Statistics, April – June 2017, Citizenship table cz_01_q_a available from https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-april-to-june-2017/list-of-tables

The UK allows dual nationality and so it is possible for those holding the nationality of another EU state to apply for naturalisation as a British citizen. Providing the other state also allows dual nationality, it is possible for a person to hold two EU nationalities.
