Proceeding contribution from Justine Greening (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Managed Migration.


Managed Migration

I shook my head because of my experience as a candidate last year. Many of my constituents who are seeking indefinite leave to remain have to wait for years before they receive a response and can get on with their lives in Putney. I believe that we raised a valid issue at the election, and the fact that the Government have now introduced a points-based system for immigration—and I am pleased that they have done so—surely demonstrates that we were right to do so. He might not like the tone of our arguments—he rightly pointed out that I did not adopt that tone—but does he not agree that we were right to raise the issue?
