John Spellar – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Spellar on 2015-11-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the likelihood of the Government’s net migration target being met.

James Brokenshire

Uncontrolled mass immigration increases pressure on public services and can drive down wages. That is why our ambition remains to cut net migration to sustainable levels. We continue to work across government to reduce net migration outside of the EU and seek reform in Europe to reduce the pull factor behind EU migration.
