'New Conservatives' insist loyalty to Rishi Sunak as they call for 'drastic' cut to immigration levels
Net migration to the UK stood at 606,000 in 2022 - the highest ever, despite Conservative pledges to cut the amount of people coming into the country.
The report says: "Visa eligibility for both care workers and senior care workers were introduced as 'temporary' measures to address post-pandemic labour shortages."Neither measure has yet been brought to a close, despite the abatement of the pandemic and its associated consequences." The MPs also call for the Government to "reserve university study visas for the brightest international students by excluding the poorest performing universities from eligibility criteria".
