Protect 5-Year ILR and Benefits for Refugees Already on the Path to settlement

Keep 5-Year ILR and Restrict Access to Benefits for New ILR Holders
The Government should keep the current 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and restrict access to government benefits for new ILR holders.
Suspend all immigration for one year and review current laws and policies
