The Labour Party has proposed a Parliamentary debate on the permanent residents’ scheme.
In a motion presented to Parliament today, MPs Charles Mangion and Roderick Galdes said the debate should discuss the scheme and the challenges it presented for the country and propose suggestions for its reactivation under new rules which would prevent abuse.
They said that the debate should not be followed by a vote for the scheme to be over and above politics so that investors would be reassured.
The Permanent Residents’ Scheme was suspended in December and no other scheme had been set up to replace it.
