Yes. But such children are registered (not naturalised).
Form MN1.
Section 1(3) of BNA.

If the child was born in the UK, they are entitled to
register as a British citizen as soon as at least one parent has PR/ILR. There is no requirement for either parent to be British, or be applying for British citizenship.
British Nationality Act 1981, section 1(3):
A person born in the United Kingdom after commencement who is not a British citizen by virtue of subsection (1) or (2) shall be entitled to be registered as a British citizen if, while he is a minor—
(a)his father or mother becomes a British citizen or becomes settled in the United Kingdom; and
(b)an application is made for his registration as a British citizen.
