173.Section 45(2) removes the 7 February 1961 cut-off point from section 4C, so that persons born before that date can apply for registration as British citizens. The requirement that the applicant must have been born before 1 January 1983 is, however, retained since sections 1(1) and 2(1) of the BNA 1981 already provide for persons born after this date to acquire citizenship by descent from their mother or father.
