Legal Migration Curbs Delayed
Legal migration curbs have been held up again amid Cabinet bickering. Sir Keir Starmer promised last November to bring forward his immigration blueprint "imminently" to bring down net annual arrivals from a record 906,000 in 2023.
Delays and Disagreements
Despite expectations it would be announced before Easter, it has been put on ice until after the local elections in May. The Home Office and the Education Department are at loggerheads over planned reductions to overseas graduates.
Government Response
Downing Street yesterday rejected allegations the PM was not taking net migration seriously, saying the work was of "critical importance." Sir Keir's spokesman emphasized the need to reduce high levels of migration and restore order to the system.
Future Plans
The plans will "link immigration, skills and visas," meaning bosses who hire from abroad will have to ramp up training of homegrown talent.
