Liverpool Conference: Major UK Immigration Policy Shift? Big Decisions on ILR & Asylum | Public Talk

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood used the Labour Party Conference to emphasise what she described as greater “fairness” in the immigration system. At the same time, she signalled that controversial proposals affecting permanent residence for some foreign workers could be reconsidered, with final details still unresolved. The Guardian This is particularly important for Care Workers and other migrants concerned about longer routes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). Reports around the conference indicate that the proposed 15-year settlement period for some care workers has faced significant opposition within Labour and from trade unions, and the government has not yet made its final decision.

On asylum, the government has reopened the UK Resettlement Scheme for new referrals. Around one-quarter of referrals are expected to involve Afghan women and girls and Palestinian refugees, providing a safe and legal route for selected vulnerable refugees. GOV.UK At the same time, Labour is pursuing tougher measures elsewhere in the asylum system, including reforms to immigration appeals and faster removals for people whose claims fail and who have no right to remain. GOV.UK So the key question after the Liverpool Labour Conference is: Could legal migrants approaching ILR receive some relief while the government becomes tougher on irregular migration and unsuccessful asylum claims? 👍 Like the video 💬 Comment: Should migrants already legally living and working in Britain be protected from major changes to ILR rules? 🔔 Subscribe for the latest UK Immigration, ILR, Care Worker, Asylum and British Citizenship Updates in Urdu.
