Do not increase the time migrants with ILR need to wait to apply for citizenship

Summary

We ask the Government and Parliament not to amend the British Nationality Act 1981 to increase the qualifying period for migrants with indefinite leave to remain (ILR) to become eligible to apply for British citizenship. In its statement titled "A Fairer Pathway to Settlement", the Government announced its intention to remove certain benefits from migrants with indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and increase the baseline qualifying period for many migrants on pathways to ILR. Therefore, we feel that this could also make it harder for migrants to become eligible for citizenship (as described on p. 27 of the statement), and that this is unnecessary and unfair.
