## Key points

- Badenoch says some migrants’ settled status could be reviewed.
- Nearly 300,000 care workers are exempt from Labour’s delay.
- The Conservatives have not defined “net contribution”.

## Summary

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says a future Conservative government would review and potentially cancel indefinite leave to remain for migrants who fail to make a “net contribution” to the UK. She criticised Labour’s changes to its settlement plans, arguing that permanent status should not guarantee access to benefits.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has exempted nearly 300,000 foreign care workers from a proposed delay to settlement. Of 1.9 million foreign nationals expected to become eligible by 2030, about 500,000 will now wait longer under the revised plans. The Conservatives have yet to define “net contributor”; Mahmood said the government would publish an impact assessment and that the changes would still deliver savings in the billions.
