Working and Studying
in Britain for a
short period will
not lead to to
permanent
settlement:
Government proposed
NOTE:-
Earned citizenship
will not apply under
the new Government
announcement on
settlement reforms
The Home Secretary
has outlined the
government's
approach to reform
of the settlement
rules, including a
decision not to
pursue the 'earned
citizenship' policy.
Earned citizenship
concerned the path
to settlement and
British citizenship,
and was planned to
come into force in
July 2011. It will
now not be
introduced.
Outlining the
government's
approach to
settlement reforms,
the Home Secretary
said:
''It is too easy, at
the moment, to move
from temporary
residence to
permanent
settlement.
'We will not
implement Labour's
policy of earned
citizenship, which
was too complicated,
bureaucratic and, in
the end,
ineffective.
'If people enter
this country saying
that they will only
stay here
temporarily, then it
is obvious that they
should only stay
here temporarily.
'Working in Britain
for a short period
should not give
someone the right to
settle in Britain.
Studying a course in
Britain should not
give someone the
right to settle in
Britain.'
The Government
will make
further
announcements in
due course. In
the interim, the
current rules
and requirements
for obtaining
settlement and
citizenship will
remain in place
