<p>The duty in Section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 to
have regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children who are in
the United Kingdom, applies to all immigration and nationality decisions.</p><p>This
includes decisions taken to deprive an individual of British citizenship where it
is conducive to the public good. Where a child is outside of the UK, the Home Secretary
applies the spirit of the Act and therefore still takes into account the best interests
of the child when making decisions which affect them.</p>
