Protect the five-year ILR route for existing Skilled Workers

Background

Protect existing Skilled Workers on the five-year ILR route. Ensure fair treatment for those who follow the rules. Protect families from unfair retrospective changes.

Additional details

Many Skilled Workers came to the UK legally, relying on the five-year ILR pathway. The Government should protect existing visa holders through fair transitional arrangements. It should also strengthen checks against illegal working. The focus should be on penalising employers who break the law, tackling tax evasion and enforcing lawful removals while respecting legal rights. Families deserve fair treatment and protection from unfair changes.
