Lords ChamberMy Lords, I am always very happy to learn and would be delighted to meet my noble friend. However, I do not agree with his summary of the new handbook. I think that it contains relevant British history and culture, which is the whole purpose of the exercise: that is, to provide facts on which people can base a life of settlement and, indeed, citizenship in this country. Therefore, I disagree with the premise of my noble friend’s supplementary question but I am very happy to meet him.
My Lords, has the Minister tried to take the test himself and, if so, did he pass?
I have a sample test here and it is very fortunate that the correct answers are given in bold type.
