Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 November 2026

Debate

Immigration: Earned Settlement

Contribution

When applying for settlement, people will need to provide evidence that they have been working and earning within the care sector. Based on analysis of HM Revenue and Customs data, we expect that three quarters of care workers will meet the test and conditions of their visa and will be able to settle at five years.
