139: After Clause 47, insert the following new Clause—
“Requirement for the Secretary of State to waive the full capacity requirement
In section 44A of the British Nationality Act 1981, for “may” substitute “must”.”
Member’s explanatory statement
This would give effect to the recommendation of the Joint Committee on Human Rights to require the Secretary of State to waive the requirement for a person to have full capacity if it is in that person’s best interests to do so.
