Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Home Office should review barriers to the registration of children and young adults as British citizens in light of the proposed changes to routes to settlement and take action to improve access to citizenship for children and young adults who are entitled to register as British citizens. This could include only charging applicants for registration the administrative cost of processing their application and running an awareness campaign to promote registration. (Recommendation, Paragraph 111) Divergent family routes
