Oral Answers to Questions

"In Norwich there is a saying: there is a church for every Sunday and a pub for every day of the week. After 14 years of austerity, the numbers are a lot lower. After this Budget, many pub landlords—small and medium-sized businesses—tell me that we are not going far enough, …..."

Written Question
Visas: Married People
Tuesday 9th December 2025

Asked by: Clive Lewis (Labour - Norwich South)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if the application of the new individual earnings requirement applies to spouses of UK citizens who are retired, carers, or stay-at-home parents.

Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

On 20 November, we launched a public consultation on our proposed earned settlement model.

The command paper accompanying that consultation puts forward a general requirement to have earnt at least £12,570 per annum for three years in order to settle in the UK.

The consultation directly asks for views on whether certain individuals or cohorts should be exempted from that general requirement.

Full details of the earned settlement model will be finalised following the public consultation.

Written Question
Mikhail Fridman
Friday 5th December 2025

Asked by: Clive Lewis (Labour - Norwich South)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the likely costs of defending the arbitration being brought against the Government by Mikhail Fridman.

Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Government maintains that it has acted consistently with domestic and international law obligations in the case of the legal challenges. In view of the ongoing proceedings, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
