The purpose of these amendments is straightforward. They are about responsibility: making sure that our migration system works for the long term, that it has the capacity to help those who truly need it and that it does not collapse under its own weight. Unless we are clear that indefinite leave to remain is a right earned through contribution and self-sufficiency, not an entitlement, we will create a system that fails everyone. These amendments strike the right balance: firm but fair, compassionate but responsible. They reaffirm that Britain remains open to those who will contribute and share in our national life, while ensuring that our generosity is not abused.
