| Home Secretary Rudd: 'Target is tens of thousands fewer layabouts per year' |
| 2016-07-20 |
| [Independent] The Government has maintained it still intends to reduce net migration to tens of thousands per year after Amber Rudd failed to put a figure on the target. The Home Secretary said on Tuesday she will aim to bring immigration down to "sustainable levels", declining to confirm whether this met with the Tory manifesto pledge of bringing net migration down to tens of thousands by 2020. The target was missed during the last Parliament, as net levels exceeded 330,000 last year - up 20,000 on 2014. |
