Migration
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to his oral evidence to the Home Affairs Committee on 27 November 2018, what steps his Department is taking to achieve the Government's target for net migration with regard to (a) skilled workers, (b) agricultural labourers and (c) international students.
- Answer
-
We are committed to reducing net migration to sustainable levels.
We will shortly be bringing forward a White Paper outlining the principles of the future immigration system.
We have been clear that the UK will always be open to those who bring valuable skills, experience and investment to the UK and our economy. We will continue to pursue immigration policies that are selective about who makes the greatest contribution to our country.
