To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Knowledge of English Language requirement for citizenship, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending the validity of that certification to three years.
- Answer
-
With reference to the Knowledge of English Language requirement for citizenship, there are currently no plans to change the validity period of a Secure English Language Test certification to three years.
