Conclusion
A child who is born in the UK to someone who has settled status will automatically be British. Extending the waiting period for settlement will therefore increase the number of children born in the UK who are not automatically British citizens and will need to register at a future date in 64 order to become citizens. Under the current system, people with the right to register face barriers that mean they can lose out on their citizenship rights. (Conclusion, Paragraph 110)
