Labour (Co-op) — York Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 November 2026

Debate

Immigration: Earned Settlement

Contribution

I will read the detail in the consultation, but I am concerned about retrospective changes because our word should be our bond to people coming here. Also, in an economy where skills and contribution do not correlate with wages, I find the Home Secretary’s proposals prejudicial on that basis. Will she look at that again in the light of the consultation, so that we can put fairness at the heart of this?
