00:00At the moment people can come here on a work visa and once they've been here for five years
00:05they can apply for indefinite leave to remain which means they can stay here forever and
00:09become entitled to things like pensions, social housing and so on.
00:12Now we think that's too quick, we think the period should be doubled from five years to
00:16ten years but critically we're also saying today that people who come here to work but
00:22don't work, people who come here to work but end up claiming benefits or who end up on
00:27very low paid jobs which don't make a net contribution to the economy should not get
00:33indefinite leave to remain because it's not fair that people who haven't made a contribution
00:38end up able to stay here for good and in fact if somebody comes here saying they're going
00:43to work but then doesn't work then their work visa should be revoked and they should be
00:47required to leave.
00:48The principle here is that the British taxpayer should not be asked to subsidise recent arrivals.
00:54Only people who come here and make a contribution, a net contribution to our economy and to the
01:01society as a whole should be able to stay here on a permanent basis.
