Kerry McCarthy

Labour — Bristol East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 February 2026

Debate

Indefinite Leave to Remain

Contribution

I have encouraged many of my constituents to participate in the consultation that finishes on 12 February, but I am concerned to hear that some of the changes might be introduced in April this year. I know from past experience with Government consultations that it tends to take an awful long time for the Government to consider the responses and then come up with their own response to them. How does that work in terms of the timing?
