I think it is called Citrus Gall Wasp.

You will need to prune all infected branches. Or there is a new method which is to shave off one side of the gall with a sharp blade and expose in the sun to kill any larvae inside.

Thanks, I've looked up "citrus gall wasp" on the internet and that certainly is what it looks like. Many thanks for your reply.
