To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if there has been any change in the period of residence in the United Kingdom required before indefinite leave to remain can be granted at the discretion of his Department.

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to a question from the hon. Member for Norwood (Mr. Fraser) on 5 November 1987, at columns 833–34. There have been no subsequent changes.
