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 changes to the standard qualifying period for settlement to people who are already on the five year pathway to settlement.

Answer

A technical annex has been published alongside the White Paper. It can be found at the following link: Restoring control over the immigration system: white paper - GOV.UK

We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year and further details on the proposed scheme will be updated at that time. An impact assessment will be developed alongside any finalised policy.
