Waive all fees associated with naturalisation for non-UK frontline NHS staff
NHS frontline workers who have worked during the Coronavirus pandemic should be offered free fast-track citizenship if they are eligible. The Home Office should waive any fees associated with naturalisation for those individuals as the path to citizenship can often be cost prohibitive.
Those working on the frontlines for the NHS during the Coronavirus pandemic have made a significant contribution to this country, put themselves at grave risk and worked incredibly hard in adverse conditions.
In gratitude of non-UK citizens' contributions, we should offer them citizenship at no charge so they can call the country that they selflessly and heroically saved home without fear of having to leave at some point because their residency expires or they can't pay for citizenship.
