Labour demands clarity on Tory plan to strip thousands of right to stay in UK

Anna Turley says legally settled people threatened by Katie Lam's proposals deserve urgent clarification

Labour has called on the Conservatives to clarify their plan to strip the right to remain permanently in the UK from thousands of people, saying those affected had a right to know what was being proposed.

Anna Turley MP, the Labour chair, has written to Katie Lam, the shadow Home Office minister whose interview about the plans last weekend sparked renewed interest in the policy of retrospectively revoking indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status for large numbers of people.
