Draft Registration of Marriages Regulations 2021

Asked by: Meg Hillier (Labour (Co-op) - Hackney South and Shoreditch)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what fee changes she plans to propose for British Citizenship applications in the 2021-22 financial year.

Answered by Kevin Foster

We keep our fees for immigration and nationality applications under review and ensure they are within the parameters agreed with HM Treasury and Parliament, as set out in Section 68 (9) of the Immigration Act 2014.

Child citizenship registration fees are the subject of current litigation. While the court case is ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment on next steps.
