Changes to indefinite leave to remain rules to be announced by Shabana Mahmood

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to reveal changes to the indefinite leave to remain rules. The new rules will regard care workers similarly to doctors and could see some migrants wait up to 10 years for the right to settle in the UK. Skilled migrants are expected to contribute £115bn to the UK economy under current rules. The announcement comes as part of new immigration policies.

“The announcement comes as part of new immigration policies,” — Victor Fenwick, staff writer at Wilton Ham Media, explained.
