The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether there will be transitional arrangements for people due to be eligible for indefinite leave to remain from 2026 onwards.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The current public consultation on the new earned settlement model seeks views on whether there should be transitional arrangements for those already on a pathway to settlement.

We will then consider, if appropriate, how transitional arrangements may be designed to ease the impact of policy change, especially for individuals or groups already afforded permissions by the previous system.
