Labour has urged the Conservatives to clarify their plan to revoke indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status from thousands of legally settled individuals in the UK. The policy, proposed by Chris Philp and detailed in a draft bill, would strip ILR from people who commit crimes, earn less than £38,700 for six months or longer, or claim any type of benefit. Anna Turley MP wrote to Katie Lam, shadow Home Office minister, citing concerns over the policy's impact on cultural coherence, family separation, and legal questions. Labour has posed 25 specific queries about the implementation details and potential consequences of the proposal. The Conservatives have yet to provide clear answers regarding key aspects of the plan.
