Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has acknowledged that the financial savings from her revised immigration overhaul will fall short of the initial ten billion pound estimate. During recent media appearances, she defended the decision to ease restrictions on foreign care workers, allowing those earning at least twenty-five thousand pounds a year to seek permanent settlement after five years instead of a previously considered much longer timeline. While critics from opposition ranks have condemned the policy shift, Ms Mahmood insisted that the updated measures will still secure billions of pounds in savings for taxpayers. She emphasized that the policy aims to prevent former care workers from falling back on state benefits, while maintaining that overall legal migration levels have been excessively high and require ongoing reduction.
