Replace Indefinite Leave to Remain with Stricter Immigration Controls
Abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain and replace it with stricter immigration controls similar to pre-1973 rules. Only skilled workers in high-demand roles should be fast-tracked. Residency should apply only to the applicant, 1 spouse, and direct children. Lawbreakers must face immediate deportation.
Replacing ILR with stricter controls ensures immigration benefits the UK by prioritising documented skilled workers in sectors with shortages. It prevents chain migration by limiting settlement to the applicant’s immediate family. Fast-tracking high-demand roles strengthens the economy, while immediate deportation for lawbreakers protects public safety and upholds UK laws. This system ensures controlled, fair, and beneficial immigration.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We are unclear if you want indefinite leave to remain to be fully abolished, or whether you'd like the rules around when it can be granted to be changed - for example, if you'd only like it to be granted to skilled workers.
You can start a petition setting out clearly what you'd like to happen.
