Immigration White Paper

Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen Excerpts

Monday 5th February 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen (Con)]

My Lords, order. This side.

[Baroness Neville-Rolfe]

I believe the Government have made a mistake in recent years in understating the scale of immigration and forecast immigration in their planning for health, housing, schools and infrastructure. What annual estimates of immigration are the Government making for the next three to five years—ranges if need be—beyond the implementation period, and how are they planning for the consequences for public services and infrastructure? Will this feature in the White Paper?
