UK exempts carers from plan to impose long delays on migrants seeking residence

The UK government has made a change to its plans to impose long delays on migrants seeking residence. The new plan exempts hundreds of thousands of care workers from the proposed 10 to 15 year wait for permanent residence. This move is significant because it reduces the potential impact of the delay on the economy, particularly in sectors like healthcare where foreign workers play a crucial role. The change is also a response to pressure from within the Labour Party, which had been critical of the original plan.
