Immigration: Children
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the likely impact of the proposal in the Immigration White Paper published on 12 May to increase the standard qualifying period for settlement from five to 10 years on (1) the number of children who will be born in the UK without British citizenship, (2) the number of children whose right to be registered as a British citizen will be delayed, and the extent of that delay, and (3) children’s best interests
- Answer
-
We will be consulting on both the earned settlement and citizenship schemes later this year and further details on the proposed schemes will be provided at
that time. This will include ensuring children who have been in the UK for some time and discover they do not have status, are fully supported to regularise their status.
