ILR visa for dependent child born in UK

Hi All
I have applied for ILR (Tier 1 Ent 5 years route). I have filed ILR application only for me and my wife. HO has asked for the reason why I have not applied visa for my daughter.
Please note that my initial visa was granted in 2013 and daughter was born in 2014 and was included in my extension application.
I know several cases where my family members have applied for ILR (via the window) and not applied for their children. Is there any reference for any guidance/law which I can refer to them?
Will appreciate a quick response.
regards
M

Simply reply to HO stating that you intend to register the child as a British citizen under Section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act once your ILR is approved.
It is a standard question due to the child having an existing visa according to HO records and not being included in your ILR application.

Thank you, glad to know that I am not alone.
Do you know if this is a frequent query from H/O? and does it have any impact on application or timescales?

Yes it is fairly common for HO to query. All to do with child safety/protection etc.
No it should not delay your application.

When did u apply for ILR ?
I also applied under same route and did not include my british born child . They never ask me anything regarding this . I clearly mentioned on the cover letter the reason of his not applying.
Maybe you did not mention in cover letter, thats why they wanted to confirm.
