answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>Current levels of immigration are unprecedented with net migration at 672,000 in the year to June 2023, up significantly on pre-pandemic volumes. This is partly because the UK is at the forefront of efforts to support those who flee persecution, conflict and instability. We welcomed over half a million people on resettlement schemes and visa routes since 2015. In parallel the government is addressing legal migration, including a plan to curb immigration abuse. We are working with international partners to tackle illegal migration.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 12/03/2024 17:13:00 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>Those who meet all eligibility and specified evidential requirements of the Family Immigration Rules are granted on a five-year route to settlement (granted in two periods of 30 months, with a third application for indefinite leave to remain). Those who cannot or do not meet these requirements, or seek to rely on their private life, instead have a 10 year route to settlement (granted in four periods of 30 months, with a fifth application for indefinite leave to remain). This reflects our obligations under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.</p><p>The 10 year route provides additional time for those applicants to better integrate into British society by being able to achieve an appropriate knowledge of the English language which, in turn, will enable them to obtain employment and take a full and active part in their community.</p><p>We are in the process of simplifying the immigration system, including the 10 year routes to settlement. As part of this simplification the impact of existing policies will be taken into account.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 24/04/2023 08:21:00 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
