To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to make changes to the eligibility criteria for indefinite leave to remain for people who have had continuous residence in the UK for 10 years.

We will be consulting on the new settlement rules later this year. Following that, we will provide details of how this initiative will work, including on any transitional arrangements for people already in the UK.
