Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the White Paper Restoring control over the immigration system, published on 12 May, whether the doubling of the standard qualifying period for indefinite leave to remain to 10 years will apply to those who are already on the existing five-year pathway.

We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year and further details on the proposed scheme will be provided at that time.
