Door to Door Campaigning in Harrow this weekend Mr McNulty is MP for Harrow.

i did too, when i was on the 2nd year of my WP. several landers were happy to lend the money to me, and some others were not because i don't have the ILR.
User Sergeyvo from the Russian forum came up with a brilliant analogy to emphasize the retrospective nature of the 4 to 5 change. He said: Imagine somebody getting a 4-year prison sentence for committing a certain crime. While they are in prison, the law changes and they would now be eligible for a...

in 2004, about 140K got their ILR, 42K of them are employment-related grants. these are official figures. Far more asylums got ILR than employment related. What are they doing? http://www.vbsi.org.uk/index.php?page=ilr_stats_2000-2004 yes, that's what they're doing. guess what? during 03/04/2006 to...
Mr. McNulty : An assessment has been made based on the number of in-country work related applications for settlement received each year.

The actual Hansard post is the following: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/cm060510/text/60510w24.htm#column_314 However, I would suggest following the transcripts of the debates and/or ministerial statements that are posted every day to watch for developments in this case...
Many people in their early 4 years are not bothered, it affects most of those in the last year. So let's say 10k, how many have we seen? Christine Lee got aroudn 1,000 names on pertition, the online one has < 500 so far. the minister has the reason to say "small number of people". That;s ...
According to our statistics ( http://www.vbsi.org.uk/uploads/Docs/MP_Stats.htm ) only 57 MPs are contacted out of 646. That's no wonder the minister can say "only a small number of individuals"... The figure may be too conservative as they are only recorded when anyone feedback to the VBS...

government will hold on to the changes as a whole, and minister is stubborn about them. as also accepted by some MP's, IF WE CAN KEEP THE PRESSURE ON (howmuch ever we can) we have a chance to find a way in the middle to make them say, "ok lets not apply this rule retrospectively, or worst case...
