Recommendation (the committee's words)
It is not too late for the Government to address this issue, and we have heard many specific suggestions from witnesses, including proposals to grant late applicants rights provisionally from the point when they apply, rather than from when status is granted, or to write off liabilities rising from an “interim period of unlawfulness” between the 30 June deadline and the point of application. We call on the Government to set out how it intends to resolve the legal uncertainty facing late applicants, so as to give greater certainty to vulnerable individuals.
