Stop retroactive settlement rules, NRPF until citizenship —fair for all!
Ensure new ILR or earned settlement rules do not apply retroactively to existing skilled migrants. Apply a No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) condition until they become British citizens. This protects fairness and safeguards public funds.

Background
Existing skilled migrants planned their settlement based on the current 5-year ILR route. Applying new ILR or earned settlement rules retroactively would create unfair hardship and uncertainty. Protecting them from retroactive changes supports stability for families and employers. A No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) condition until citizenship ensures self-sufficiency while reducing pressure on public resources.
