Lord Goldsmith's report on citizenship, 'Citizenship: Our common bond', drew on a substantial body of research that was commissioned as part of the review.
The reports contain the views of the authors rather than those of Lord Goldsmith, and are being published alongside the report to contribute to the continuing debate on the topic.
PDF versions of the reports are available here for free download. If you need a hard copy, please contact the Review team.
