Immigration Controls

I would say that every utterance of my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary is significant, whatever her junior Ministers have been doing. The answer to my right hon. Friend's question is yes. The answer to the question of my right hon. Friend, who is co-chair of the group on balanced migration, and the answer to the question that has been asked outside this place is that the Government's policy is that there should not be an automatic link between coming to this country to work and settlement at the end of that period. That is an important point.
