Ian Blackford – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ian Blackford on 2016-06-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons people who have leave to remain in the UK while seeking permanent residence do not have the right to work.

James Brokenshire

Those with temporary leave to remain keep the conditions of that leave, including any associated work rights, until a new application is decided.

Those whose leave to remain has already expired do not have permission to work and must normally make an application to regularise their stay within 28 days.
