Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to (a) reduce the number of (i) lower-skilled migrants and (ii) migrants in general coming to the UK and (b) provide updates on progress in meeting those goals.

We committed to the public we would deliver a new points-based system to bring highly-skilled workers to the UK whilst meeting our clear manifesto commitment to control immigration numbers.  I will provide further policy updates to the House in due course.
