The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (Commencement No. 11) Order 2006
Section 9 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”) substitutes new section 50(9), (9A), (9B) and (9C) into the British Nationality Act 1981 (“the 1981 Act”) and makes some consequential amendments to that Act. The new provisions contain new definitions of a child’s mother and father for the purposes of the 1981 Act. New section 50(9A) and (9B) enables the Secretary of State to make regulations prescribing requirements about proof of paternity for these purposes.
