Citizenship points test
Refugee Council response to the UK Border Agency Consultation Earning the right to stay: A new points test for citizenship
The Refugee Council has responded to the UKBA consultation on introducing a points based test for citizenship. Our response sets out our concern that the proposals will act as a further barrier to integration for refugees who wish to become citizens. In combination with the introduction of limited leave and active review in 2005 and the requirements in the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009, we are concerned that the proposals misguidedly attempt to include refugees in a system designed for other types of migrant.
