In her Labour Party conference speech on Monday, Shabana Mahmood is expected to set out a series of conditions for those seeking indefinite leave to remain status. In its White Paper published in May, the Government also pledged to increase the amount of time migrants have to wait before they can apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK to 10 years. Currently, most migrants who come to Britain on time-limited work visas can make an application for indefinite leave to remain after five years. Ms Mahmood will speak about her parents’ experience of arriving in the UK, arguing the acceptance of migrants depends on their contribution to local communities. Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said Labour was “playing catch-up” with Conservative proposals to toughen indefinite leave to remain rules.
