Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Paddick (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 27 January 2022. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

My Lords, can the Minister clarify something? She gave us some figures; I did not have a chance to write to them down. She talked about the figures peaking at, I think, somewhere around 1,700 cases. Is that the number of stateless children born in the UK who are granted British citizenship, or are they cases where parents deliberately chose not to register their child’s birth in order to take advantage of the system?
