Following is the text of a reply received from UKBA / Home Office.
Thank your for your e-mail to the Freedom of Information requests inbox. This has been treated as a routine enquiry, as we regularly receive such requests about a person's ability to meet the Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK requirement.
If your qualification is on the list of acceptable qualifications published on our website (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-...), you will not need to retake an English test. The expiry dates for those tests do not apply to settlement and citizenship applications. You should send your certificate with the application.
I hope this helps.
