Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to introduce a fee waiver scheme for children born in the UK who are applying to register their British citizenship; and if she will make a statement.
The Home Office acknowledged the Court of Appeal judgment in PRCBC & O v Secretary of State for the Home Department on 18 February and committed to reviewing the child citizenship registration fee in line with its duties under Section 55.
A Supreme Court hearing on Child Registration fees also took place on 23rd and 24th June.
We await the final judgment and the ongoing section 55 review before publishing results.
