Note that these are the announced proposals of the government, but
(a) they are not yet law,
(b) there is no specific legal text that we can refer to yet and
(c) there is a lot of opposition to these proposals within the governing Labour Party.

There is a reasonable chance that nobody on these forums (or frankly even in government) can answer your questions with any level of certainty on these proposals.

The purpose of posting these links is so that the words of the Home Secretary can be read directly and on their own, rather than through speculative and alarmist misinterpretations.

We on these forums know as little as others about what will eventually happen on these proposals. All I would say is that it would be foolish to expect certainty in such uncertain times.
