Energy secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh appears to have criticised home secretary Shabana Mahmood's plan to make migrants wait longer for settlement. A write-up on her constituency website quoted her warning that longer waits could slow community cohesion. The post has been removed, with her office saying it paraphrased her badly. The government wants to double the standard wait for indefinite leave to remain to ten years.
