Habitual Residence Test
EDM number 311 in 1994-95, proposed by Hugh Bayley on 19/12/1994.
That this House is deeply concerned about the effects of the habitual residence test on both British citizens and those with right of abode returning to the United Kingdom; notes that the test is being used to prevent vulnerable people from claiming benefits, for example, a young mother and her 10 month old baby now residing in York who had recently returned from Cyprus to live in the United Kingdom; and calls upon the Government to abolish this test immediately.
This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
