Conservative — Braintree

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 May 2025

Debate

Immigration System

Contribution

The Home Secretary, in her statement, said that the visa changes she is putting in place will reduce net migration by 100,000 people a year. The House of Commons Library has figures that say the visa changes that I brought in would reduce net migration by 300,000 people per year—so would she concede that her proposals are only a third as effective as mine?
