Shadow Minister Spoke ‘Imprecisely’ About Tory Settled Status Plans – Badenoch
Conservatives maintain plans to tighten indefinite leave to remain rules, requiring 10 years residency and restricting benefits to non-citizens, according to party leaders.
- On Wednesday the Conservative Party denied scrapping plans to toughen indefinite leave to remain rules, with Chris Philp insisting there has been 'no change' to the February policy.
- Earlier this year, a private member's Bill by Chris Philp included removing ILR in certain cases, while last week Katie Lam suggested some migrants should lose settled status, prompting Tory backlash.
- In February, Kemi Badenoch set out plans to bar benefit claimants or criminals from settled status, require 10 years for migrants with indefinite leave to remain, and at conference clarified foreign citizens should not claim benefits.
- Anna Turley, Conservative party chairwoman, called the episode a humiliation for the Tories, while Labour said Katie Lam, shadow Home Office minister, was 'completely undermined' and Liberal Democrat Max Wilkinson warned Lam's divisive comments caused family angst.
- The spokesman said the remainder of the legal migration plan will be announced in the coming weeks, while Reform UK and critics say the Conservatives' position remains unclear.
