Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, has proposed significant reforms to the immigration process in the UK, advocating for immigrants to wait ten years instead of five for indefinite leave to remain (ILR). This includes stricter application conditions, such as not having claimed benefits, proving economic contributions, and excluding those with criminal records. These proposed changes are part of a broader framework intended to enforce stricter immigration controls, a hotly debated topic given the rising numbers of immigrants obtaining settled status in recent years.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch proposes extending the period for new migrants to qualify for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) from five to ten years.
The Tories aim to tighten ILR conditions, requiring non-benefit claimants and net tax contributors, and disqualifying applicants with criminal records.
