Make a law to protect ILR from abolition and retrospective changes
We want the Parliament to introduce primary legislation that guarantees Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a permanent route to settlement. ILR must not be abolished, withdrawn from holders, or replaced with visas. Any changes to ILR should apply only to new entrants from the date of implementation
