English Language Requirement with UK taught degree

Apologies if this has been covered and my search skills are lacking ... but I wanted your opinion in this scenario.

I am currently on ILR and am applying for BC.
I have a Masters degree which I studied in the UK.

Guides are as vaguely written as possible ..

Certificate showing that you have obtained an academic qualification deemed by UK NARIC
to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in the United
Kingdom and (i) UK NARIC has confirmed that the qualification was taught or researched
in English or (ii) the qualification was taught or researched in the UK or a majority English
speaking country (other than Canada);
or

I guess I fit in the bolded part. What is not clear is if UK NARIC need to do anything here
Does (ii) mean that UK NARIC has to confirm that the qualification was taught or researched in the UK? Or the UK Degree from a well known university confirm that itself.

Question is - Do I still need NARIC to do something or simply shell out £150 for the ( frankly joke of a ) test.

Thanks for your consideration guys !

As it was taught in the UK there is no need for a NARIC confirmation of equivalence. Your UK degree alone is sufficient to meet the language requirement, no need for a language test either.

Thanks Lily for the prompt response. Filling out these forms is so stressful that one starts to pick apart each sentence and make them even more confusing.
