英国内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德提议将外国工人申请永久居留权的等待期从5年延长至15年，该政策将追溯至2021年1。然而，这一计划在内阁内部引发了明显的意见分歧。能源大臣米亚塔·法恩布勒赫在Sky News采访中拒绝明确支持该政策，转而强调改革应基于"同情心和贡献"原则1。法恩布勒赫在其佩克汉姆选区网站上发表的评论指出："如果我们继续延长人们等待定居的时间，我们也会延长建立凝聚力的过程"1，该评论随后被删除。
该计划还面临更广泛的党内反对。数十名工党议员反对这一变化，住房大臣安吉拉·雷纳已公开批评该方案1。曼彻斯特市长伯纳姆考虑将护理工作豁免于延期期限，但内政部认为这样的豁免会导致该部门外国工人大规模离职1。
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has proposed extending the waiting period for foreign workers to apply for permanent residence from five to fifteen years, a change that would apply retrospectively to applications submitted from 2021 onwards 1. However, Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh declined to explicitly endorse the plan during a Sky News interview, instead emphasizing that reforms should be grounded in principles of compassion and contribution 1.
The disagreement reflects widening divisions within the cabinet over the immigration measure 1. Fahnbulleh commented on her Peckham constituency website that "if we continue to extend the time people have to wait for settlement, we also extend the process of building cohesion," remarks that were subsequently deleted 1. Her reluctance to back Mahmood's proposal comes as dozens of Labour MPs have expressed opposition to the change, and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner has publicly criticized the plan 1.
Manchester Mayor Bernham is considering exempting care workers from the extended waiting period 1. The Home Office, however, has raised concerns that such an exemption could trigger mass departures of foreign workers from the care sector 1.
