Grant everyone who has been in the UK more than 10 years British Citizenship

Closed 89 signatures

What the petition asks

I urge the government to scrap the Life in the UK test and grant everyone who has lived in this country more than 10 years Citizenship, for we have proved to be British against all odds.

We have worked tirelessly and fought Covid-19 together. Proud to be British and deserve formality.
Reward those who have stayed in this country more than 10 years with British Citizenship. I urge the Government to pass this bill and scrap the Life in the UK test for we have proved to be British regardless.
