Peers demand Home Office launch review into outdated British citizenship test

THE Home Office must launch an urgent review of its trivial and outdated British citizenship test, peers are demanding today. 

Since 2002, people who want to become British citizens or permanent residents must prove they have sufficient knowledge about life in Britain, by passing the Home Office’s test.  

People applying for indefinite leave to remain who fail to pass can face severe delays to their settlement — and even deportation and loss of their livelihoods.
