Free GB citizenship application for foreign key workers and their families.
Exempt foreign key workers and their families who worked during 2020 pandemic of paying citizenship application fees.
As you maybe know, the majority of key workers are low payed. For a foreign key worker which has a family composed by 2 adults and one child,the application fees reach almost 5000£ which makes almost impossible for them to apply. As a reward and a good will gesture ,the government should grant free application for British citizenship for the key workers who worked ,helped and sacrifice their and their families safety during 2020 pandemic.
