Migrants to face tougher conditions for settled status, home secretary to announce

UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce new conditions for migrants to earn the right to remain in the UK. Migrants will need to demonstrate contributions to society by learning English, maintaining a clean record, and participating in community volunteer work to qualify for permanent settlement status. The proposal, presented during the Labour conference speech, aims to differentiate the government from Reform UK's plan to abolish indefinite leave to remain. Labour intends to extend the period to gain settlement status to 10 years and emphasizes the importance of migrants proving integration into the UK through various criteria.
