“The
effect on individuals has been catastrophic…. They felt that the
British Government had cheated them....To
retrospectively alter their status and ask them to leave is inhuman
and does not fit with the liberal values we espouse”.
Lord Navnit Dholakia, Deputy Leader, Liberal Democrats.
-
"There is mounting evidence of real hardship caused
by the Government's vindictive decision to make the new
qualifications for Highly Skilled Migrants retrospective on those
who are already here. This will damage Britain's economy, and its
reputation around the world. The Government should reverse this
decision."
- Damian Green,
Shadow Immigration Minister, Conservative MP.
-
"I have heard with deep concern about the impact of
HSMP rule changes last November on people who arrived under the
previous HSMP regime. To change rules retrospectively in this way,
for people who have made a major commitment to a productive role in
the UK, is manifestly unjust."
-
London Mayor Ken Livingstone (May
2007).
-
"It is a slap on
the face of those who had gone through proper process and complied
with the regulations only to be left in the limbo regarding their
future. We request the home secretary to change the rules." -
Keith Vaz, Labour MP.
-
"Given the genuine human dimension of HSMP status,
Indian nationals, who have already entered the
UK since 2002, we would urge the British government not to implement
the new points based system retrospectively."
-
The
Indian High Commission
