Answered by Seema Malhotra

The British Nationality (Irish Citizens) Act 2024 will come into force on a date that is set out in future regulations made by the Secretary of State, as allowed for by Clause 2(3) of the Act. We continue to work on the operational changes for implementation, and the Home Office will notify interested Members once a prospective timeline for commencement has been agreed.
