We are aware the provisions regarding the children of unmarried British Overseas Territories citizen fathers do not match those for British citizens.

We have set out the matter for all Overseas Territories and sought their views. We have also explained what might be required in pratical terms, by reference to the registration arrangements which already exist for British citizen fathers.

We will provide details of any propsed resolution in due course.
