Baby' status while parents applied for Naturalization

Hello everyone,

Me and my wife have ILR' and have already applied for Naturalisation in July 2014, application still under progress.

Our son was born in Nov'14 so I need to know whether I need to naturalise my baby son or is he automatically a British and can apply for a British passport?

Thanks much for your advice in advance.

If baby was born in the UK to a parent holding ILR, then baby is automatically British.

Thanks Vinny for your help! This info relaxed my mind as I was thinking of shelling another 900 quids for my son' naturalisation! You are a Star!
