What if two such parents had a child born in France? The child would be stateless, except that Britain allows stateless children born to British citizens to gain citizenship and France allows stateless children born in the country to gain citizenship. Which one would the children actually get?

I think France, because to show statelessness to the UK you need documentation from the country of birth saying the child is not eligible for citizenship there. But if France required similar documentation from the parent’s country, then I think it would be whichever you applied to First?
