Mahmood retreats on settlement plan for care workers
Original: uk immigration rules
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says most overseas care workers will qualify for settlement after five years in the UK, not the 15-year period originally proposed under the government's immigration overhaul. The climbdown comes after criticism that longer routes to permanent residence would hit low-paid care staff hardest, and the wider shake-up of settlement and visa rules continues to draw debate across British politics.
Why now: The Home Secretary has just softened a controversial immigration proposal affecting thousands of care workers.
