Routes to Settlement

Inquiry

The Government has announced major changes to eligibility for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), also known as settlement, and is planning to consult on the proposed changes later this year.  

The purpose of this inquiry is to evaluate the evidence for, and potential impact of, the planned changes to inform and feed into the new policy as it is being developed. 

Please note that the Committee is unable to consider or assist with individual cases. 

This inquiry does not form part of the Government's consultation on the planned changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain.

The Home Affairs Committee is a cross-party committee of MPs responsible for scrutinising the work of the Home Office and its associated bodies. The Committee is independent from the Home Office and from Government.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was 11:59pm on 2 December 2025.
