The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's White Paper entitled Restoring control over the immigration system, updated on 6 June 2025, what estimate her Department has made of the number of (a) people under 18 years and (b) all people affected by the proposed changes to (i) settlement and (ii) citizenship.

The new settlement rules will be subject both to an equality impact assessment and to a public consultation later this year. Details of how this initiative will work will be provided around that consultation. The citizenship proposals will be developed in line with the settlement ones.
