Can I apply for British citizenship right after having ILR?

Dear friends,
I would like to thank those who kindly provided advices on my questions, and special thanks go to Vinny-:) I was granted ILR in Feb 09.

Here is a quick question:
I have been living in UK over 8 years, Can I apply for citizenship right after having ILR? or I need to wait for 1 year. I can not find the information about ILR +1 year for qualifying period in the home office website anymore. Could anyone send me the link if possible? Thanks a lot.

Currently, only if you are married to or the civil partner of a British citizen. Else, under the standard requirements, you have to wait for at least a year.
