Lewis Atkinson

Labour — Sunderland Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 February 2026

Debate

Indefinite Leave to Remain

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for the speech he is making. Does he agree that although the Government seek through their proposals to increase integration, by limiting ILR to those who stay beyond 10 years we are actually going to reduce integration in exactly the sort of instance that he has outlined? That risks undermining the integration that I see in workplaces, churches and community groups in Sunderland.
