Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to include voluntary work as a qualifying measure of societal contribution for British National (Overseas) visa holders under the proposed points-based pathway to Indefinite Leave to Remain.

We will consult later this year on the details of the Earned Settlement policy and will provide details of how the scheme will work after that, including on any transitional arrangements for those already in the UK.
