To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many children since 1981 have been born in the departure lounges of airports at (a) Heathrow, (b) Gatwick, (c) Leeds/Bradford and (d) Manchester; and how many such babies were affected by provisions of the British Nationality Act 1981.

The Home Office does not keep records of how many children were born in airport departure lounges, but any child born in such a place would be affected by the British Nationality Act 1981, section 1 of which determines whether or not the child has acquired British citizenship by birth.
