Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 May 2025

Debate

Immigration System

Contribution

My hon. Friend makes a really important point. We are setting out practical plans on the skilled worker visa, construction training jobs, and an immigration skills charge, so that we can invest in training. It is through those practical, common-sense plans that, step by step, we will restore order to the immigration system and bring down net migration.
