Home Secretary Mahmood is due to present a revised proposal for changing the point at which legal migrants can claim permanent residency in the UK.
The plans concern settlement rules for people who have entered or remained in the country legally. The proposal is expected to set out how the timing of eligibility for permanent residency could change, although no further details of the revised arrangements have been provided.
Permanent residency, also known as settlement, allows eligible migrants to remain in the UK without being subject to a time limit on their stay. The proposed changes would affect the rules governing when that status can be claimed.
Mahmood is due to lay the revised proposal, which will provide further information about the planned changes. No details of responses from affected migrants, organisations or other officials are included in the available material.
