Immigration Reforms: Humanitarian Visa Routes

Contribution

I will come on to five groups who need to be given special consideration, including those that the hon. Member has just mentioned. Over the weekend, more than 5,000 BNO visa holders completed a survey about the proposals. The results show that if the requirements outlined were strictly applied with no transitional arrangements, only 8% of BNO households would expect all members to be able to apply for ILR after five years in the UK, and 43% said that no members would be eligible for ILR at the five-year point.
