Net immigration – the number of people coming to live in the UK minus the number leaving – more than quadrupled under the last Labour government.
The Conservatives have reformed all the routes of immigration into the UK to make the system more selective and secure. In the recent Queen’s Speech the Government announced new plans to clamp down on those from overseas who abuse our public services.
Local Conservative MP Mark Pawsey said:
“I believe that people in Rugby want immigration system that works in Britain’s interest. The action the Conservative party in Government has taken to fix the system has already seen net immigration cut by more than a third. These new laws will stop people abusing public services they’re not entitled to and make it easier to remove people who should not be here.”
Mark concluded:
“These latest independent figures show that the uncontrolled immigration Britain saw over the previous decade is ending and we are creating an immigration system people can have confidence in.”
