Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's white paper entitled Restoring control over the immigration system, published on 12 May 2025, how her Department defines a contribution for the purpose of considering a persons contribution to society and the economy; how this will be measured; and whether the measurements will be conducted in house by her Department.

We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year and further details on the proposed scheme will be provided at the time.
