The UK is opening new routes to British citizenship for thousands of people who may previously not have qualified, says specialist migration firmThe changes mean that if you have a parent, grandparent or great grandparent born in the UK or a former British territory, you could now have a claim to British citizenship.

“In the past, many have been denied nationality rights from their maternal line because there has been no change in the law.
