We will not require biometrics for the main applicant or dependants for postal applications posted on or after 26 July. However, the requirement will continue for applications made at the Croydon public enquiry office until we start issuing identity cards to successful applicants from 25 November 2008.

why would they need to take biometrics again, it doesn't make sense .

anyway end of oct i'm applying for naturalisation for the misses, after her medicine exam, as her phils passport expires end of oct and might as well get her a brit on instead.
