Independent — Leicester South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 February 2026

Debate

Indefinite Leave to Remain

Contribution

I am sorry, but I cannot do so, in the interest of time. Security results in integration. Insecurity results in chaos, not to mention the serious possibility of exploitation of people by employers; colleagues have already made the point about indentured labour. When did modern Britain become such a transactional country? If we truly want an integrated Britain, the last thing we want is longer waiting times, uncertainty and a broken promise. What we need is certainty—five years’ maximum for the process, with fast decisions—and a real acknowledgement that migration, when it is organised with respect and fairness, strengthens a country rather than weakening it.
