The Government's 'Life in the UK' citizenship test is still "like a bad pub quiz" with incorrect facts, unexplained omissions, mundane trivia and inadequate checks, a report launched today at Durham University has found.
The report's author, Professor Thom Brooks, claims the test faces serious problems that require the creation of an advisory group to lead a public consultation and draft a new edition. It has been two decades since the original advisory group, launched under Labour, met with the public and made the first test.
And the government has never held an official consultation since to assess the test's aims and purposes in promoting integration and shared fundamental British values and ensure the test is fit for purpose.
