Immigration: Reform

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's policy paper entitled Policy paper Restoring control over the immigration system: white paper, published on 12 May 2025, whether she consulted civil society organisations providing services to (a) migrants experiencing (i) poverty and (ii) destitution and (b) other migrants prior to designing the (1) settlement and (2) citizenship changes proposed.

Answer

The Restoring control over the immigration system: white paper, sets out the government's plans to create an immigration system that promotes growth but is controlled and managed.

We will be consulting on the new settlement rules later this year. Following that, we will provide details of how this initiative will work, including on any transitional arrangements for people already in the UK.

The citizenship proposals will be developed in line with the settlement ones and further details on the proposed citizenship scheme will be provided at a suitable stage.
