This briefing on Amendment 60 tabled to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill for House of Lords Report concerns the requirement of good character for people, particularly children, to be made British citizens. The briefing specifically concerns the requirement that applies to the registration of British citizenship, including by statutory entitlement. Amendment 60 concerns both registration and naturalisation. This briefing, however, relates solely to the former and is intended to help peers to recognise the important distinction between these two provisions and the character requirements that apply to them.
