Written Answers
British Nationality: Children Asked by: Lord Moraes (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 19th March 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they collect figures on the number of children (1) seeking to register their entitlement to, and (2) refused a request for, British citizenship under each section of the British Nationality Act 1981 broken down by age group; and if not, whether they have any plans to collect and publish such data. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Office publishes quarterly transparency data showing the number of applications for citizenship. There are currently no plans to publish data with the level of detail mentioned in the question.
Legal Aid Scheme: British Nationality Asked by: Lord Moraes (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 18th March 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to including the legal registration rights of adults to be registered as British citizens under the British Nationality Act 1981 within the scope of civil legal aid. Answered by Baroness Levitt - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) sets out the matters in scope of legal aid and the eligibility criteria, and seeks to ensure that legal aid is available to those most in need. The rights of adults to be registered as British citizens under the British Nationality Act 1981 is not within scope of legal aid. Where an issue falls outside the scope of legal aid, individuals can apply for Exceptional Case Funding (ECF). ECF will be granted if, without legal aid, there is a risk that the person’s human rights may be breached. ECF applications are determined by the Legal Aid Agency on a case-by-case basis. Legal aid is available for separated migrant children for applications for registration as a British citizen or British subject, and for immigration applications for entry clearance, leave to enter, or to remain in the United Kingdom. This provision is available due to the particular vulnerability of this cohort, subject to means and merits testing as applicable. We regularly engage with other government departments to understand the impact of their policies on immigration legal aid and consider taking action to expand the scope of legal aid where needed.
