Summary
The UK government’s proposal to extend the standard qualifying period for permanent settlement from five to 10 years, and up to 20 years for refugees, has sparked cabinet tensions. Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh reportedly expressed concerns that longer waiting periods could undermine migrant integration and community cohesion, although she later disputed the accuracy of the reported remarks. A former refugee herself, Fahnbulleh advocates an immigration system that balances effective controls with compassion and recognition of migrants’ contributions. Other ministers have also raised concerns about the proposed changes, particularly their impact on care workers.
