Third Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Immigration (Leave to Enter and Remain) (Amendment) Order 2026

Parliamentary debate

Parliament will scrutinise a delegated legislation order amending immigration rules on leave to enter and remain in the UK. This is a technical instrument that modifies existing immigration law without requiring a full bill; the committee will examine whether the changes are appropriate and proportionate before the order takes effect.

Delegated legislation on immigration affects thousands of people applying for visas, residency, and family reunification each year. Changes to leave rules alter eligibility criteria and processing timelines for migrants, British citizens with overseas family members, and employers sponsoring workers. Even technical amendments can have material consequences for individuals' legal status and families' ability to live together in the UK.
