Proposed increase in residency requirements for UK citizenship
UK Immigration minister Phil Woolas has made a statement in anticipation of a new Borders, Citizenship and Immigration bill which is expected to introduce an increase in the period of residence required to qualify for citizenship in the UK.
The bill is in its final stage and was cleared by the House of Commons at the end of July, with support from major political parties. It is widely considered to be a broad-ranging overhaul of the UK immigration situation, whose rules and regulations have remained largely unchanged since their inception in the 1950s.
