Written Question
British Nationality: Assessments
Thursday 2nd May 2024

Asked by: Duncan Baker (Conservative - North Norfolk)

Question to the Home Office:

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.

Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery)

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. A person who successfully made an indefinite leave to remain application on the basis of a B1 level qualification can meet the English language requirement for naturalisation without needing to pass another test.
