Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the White Paper entitled Restoring control over the immigration system, published on 12 May 2025, whether she plans to change the 12-month qualifying period between the grant of indefinite leave to remain and the right to apply for naturalisation.

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