Mark Sewards

Labour — Leeds South West and Morley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 February 2026

Debate

Indefinite Leave to Remain

Contribution

I completely understand where my hon. Friend is coming from. The people I was speaking about just before he intervened will find themselves trapped, and effectively shut out from university education altogether, even though they are already integrated into this country. I urge the Government to consider the full impact of the implementation of the proposed changes for people who are already here, working and contributing more than they ever take out, who came in good faith, and who have followed every rule we have set for them.
