The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department's proposed timetable is for responding to the A Fairer Pathway to Settlement consultation.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The consultation for the earned settlement model, as proposed in ‘A Fairer Pathway to Settlement’, was open to the public between 20 November 2025 and 12 February 2026. Working at pace, the contributions will now be analysed, and the findings will support the development of the final model. The public will be informed when a response is produced.

Economic and equality impact assessments will be conducted on the final model and published in due course.
