17GSections 17B to 17F: supplementary provision1

In sections 17B to 17F and this section, a person’s “natural father” is a person who satisfies the requirements as to proof of paternity that are prescribed in regulations under section 50(9B).

2

The power under section 50(9B) to make different provision for different circumstances includes power to make provision for the purposes of any provision of sections 17B to 17F which is different from other provision made under section 50(9B).

3

The following provisions apply for the purposes of sections 17B to 17F.

4

A reference to a person automatically becoming a citizen of a certain type is a reference to the person becoming a citizen of that type without the need for—

a

the person to be registered as such a citizen by the Secretary of State or any other minister of the Crown;

b

the birth of the person to be registered by a diplomatic or consular representative of the United Kingdom; or

c

the person to be naturalised as such a citizen.

5

If the mother of a person could not actually have been married to the person’s natural father at the time of the person’s birth (for whatever reason), that fact does not prevent an assumption being made that the couple were married at the time of the birth.
