Mahmood to unveil revised settlement rules after Labour backlash

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce final changes to indefinite leave to remain (ILR) rules in the House of Commons. After facing internal opposition, the government is expected to revise its original plan to extend the settlement wait from five to 10 years, potentially exempting care workers from a 15-year requirement. The decision follows a consultation with 200,000 responses and comes amid falling net migration figures.

Mahmood to revise settlement rules after Labour backlash

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce revised rules for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) after facing significant opposition from within the Labour Party. The original plan, introduced in November 2025, aimed to extend the qualifying period for settlement from five to 10 years for most workers and 15 years for low-wage earners, including care workers. Critics, including Housing Secretary Angela Rayner, argued that applying these changes retrospectively to migrants already in the UK was 'un-British.' Following a consultation that received 200,000 responses, the government is expected to water down the proposals to secure backbench support, though the exact details remain unclear.
