The British Nationality (Regularisation of Past Practice) Bill was introduced last week and will secure the nationality position of thousands of people born to EU citizen parents exercising rights of free movement (and their children too), explains Cambridge immigration lawyer Julie Moktadir.
To qualify, they must have been born in the UK over an 18 year period between 1 January 1983 and 1 October 2000.
The Bill will make clear in law that this group are automatically entitled to a passport from birth in line with any child born in the UK to settled parents.
