Immigration: Poverty

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's White Paper entitled Restoring control over the immigration system, published on 12 May 2025, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the proposed extension of the qualifying period for indefinite leave on levels of poverty in migrant communities.

We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year and will provide details of how the scheme will work at that time.
