Britain has unveiled details of a new citizenship test for immigrants. They will be asked questions about history, institutions and culture - as well as committing to British social values focusing on, "being one of the lads".

The new citizenship test is expected to be introduced later this year. The details were unveiled in a 40-page draft guide that is to be given to all applicants.

The Spoof has managed to get a draft copy of one of the Questionnaire's that will be routinely given to "Immigrants" applying for British Citizenship.
