Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by William Bain (Labour). It was answered by Damian Green (Conservative) on Monday, 12 December 2011 on behalf of the Home Office.

Migration

Question: What estimate she has made of the likely level of net migration in 2015.

Answer: The latest published estimates show net migration in the year to March 2011 at 245,000. That figure remains too high, which is why the Government are pressing ahead with their reform of the immigration system. This will bring numbers down to sustainable levels in the tens of thousands by 2015.
