Thousands of migrant workers prepare legal action against UK Government

The Skilled Migrants Alliance has confirmed it has begun preparations for a potential judicial review after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced last week that indefinite leave to remain (ILR) will be increased from five to 10 years for most migrants.One of the group’s co-founders has told The National that it is preparing a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter, the formal step which would notify Andy Burnham’s government of its intention to bring a legal challenge.
