Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he will make it his policy to offer UK citizenship to EU citizens free of charge on the same basis as the EU Settlement Scheme.
As the Prime Minister announced on 21 January, there will be no fee for applications under the EU Settlement Scheme when we roll out the scheme in full by 30 March. Anyone who has applied during the pilot phase, or who does so, will have their fee reimbursed. The Home Office will set out further details in due course.
We have no plans to reduce or abolish the fee for British citizenship applications for EU citizens.
