UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has reassured citizens regarding the £38,700 minimum income requirement for British citizens bringing in foreign family members. Facing concerns that the rule could separate families, Sunak stated during Prime Minister's Questions that the government is reconsidering its initial stance on reapplications and is exploring "transitional arrangements" for affected individuals. Labour MP Sir Stephen Timms raised concerns about disrupted marriage plans and families needing visa extensions. Sunak emphasized the need for financial support but assured that fair transitional measures would be announced shortly. Home Secretary James Cleverly and immigration minister Tom Pursglove echoed these sentiments.
