The UK government is holding children to ransom for the sake of £640 profit. No child should be deterred from their right to British citizenship simply because of the cost.
Without citizenship they lose their entitlement to a student loan, are subject to foreign student university fees and are denied the ability to travel and work freely in later life.
Call on the government to end the practice of profiteering from citizenship applications and waive the cost of citizenship for all children.
