Written Answers
Immigration
Asked by: Lara Bird (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry)
Thursday 16th July 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential financial impact of paying the Immigration Health Surcharge, National Insurance and Income Tax on individuals and families awaiting a decision on Indefinite Leave to Remain; and whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of increasing the ILR period from 5 years on this.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The government’s proposals for settlement reform were set out in the Command Paper ‘A Fairer Pathway to Settlement’ (CP1448) and were the subject of a public consultation between 20 November 2025 and 12 February 2026.

We received over 200,000 responses from the public and organisations and are now considering all responses received.  This will help inform the development of the final earned settlement model.

Once the final model has been decided, the Government will communicate the outcome publicly.  This will also include both economic and equality impact assessments.
