Migrants will have to prove that they contribute to society to earn the right to stay in the UK, the Minister of the Interior will announce.
In her speech by the Labor Conference, Shabana Mahmood will outline a series of new conditions that migrants must meet to be eligible for indefinite leave to stay.
According to the proposals, legal migrants must learn English according to a high standard, have a clean criminal record and do volunteer work in their community to get a permanent settlement status.
Labor says that the policy draws a clear dividing line between the government and the reform of the UK, which says it would abolish it indefinitely.
Currently, migrants can apply for an indefinite period of time to stay after five years, giving them the right to live, study and work in the UK permanently.
Labor plans to double the period needed to win the status from five years to 10, and a consultation was announced in May as part of a package of plans to reduce immigration.
Reform said that the unlimited leave would replace visa that forcing migrants – including not – EU hundreds who already have the status – to request again every five years.
Labor says that this would force employees who have been contributing to the UK for decades to leave their houses and families.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said that the policy of reforming the British British “racist” and “immoral” was in an interview with the BBC.
But ministers would like to prove migrants that they have integrated into the UK if they want settlement status.
This includes meeting conditions, such as making national insurance contributions, taking no benefits and returning to their communities.
Labor says that some foreigners could earn an earlier arrangement based on their contribution or skills.
The main theme of the Labor conference is the struggle to reform the UK, which leads in British national opinion polls.
In her speech it is also expected that Mahmood says that patriotism “is slightly smaller, slightly more like ethnic nationalism”.
Mahmood will claim that “fair migration” and secure boundaries are integral parts of an “open, generous, tolerant” country.
She will tell party members “you will not always like what I do”.
But she will warn them if the Labor government does not succeed, “working people will reject themselves” and “seek comfort in the false promises” of the party of Nigel Farage.
Mahmood will also talk about the experience of her parents to arrive in the UK, arguing the acceptance of migrants depends on their contribution to local communities.
She will talk about how she was the victim of shoplifting, when she worked as a child behind her family's corner shop, and why that motivated her to fight theft.
The Minister of the Interior launches a “Winter of Action” schedule in an attempt to tackle shoplifting.
This will entail the police throughout the country in collaboration with local companies.
