Debate between Rachel Blake and James Murray

Tuesday 4th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[James Murray]

As part of the reforms announced at the autumn Budget, we are modernising the system for people from overseas spending time in the UK with a new residence-based test. We are always looking at ways to encourage people from overseas to spend time in and invest in the UK and to help grow our economy.

[Rachel Blake (Cities of London and Westminster) (Lab/Co-op)]
