The Prime Minister’s official spokesman also repeatedly suggested Mr Sunak felt the current rules have the right “balance”.: “It’s only 20 people.”
A Home Office spokesman later added: “In May we carried out the toughest ever action by government to reduce migration by removing the right for most international students to bring family members, while continuing to benefit from the skills and resources our economy needs. Despite holding a televised press conference demanding the Government go further to bring down net immigration numbers, the New Conservatives, meanwhile, insisted they were not being disloyal to Mr Sunak.
Asked about the importance of university finances, he said: “It is the job of the Government to come up with a migration system that works for British people. It’s not the job of the Government to prop up private institutions, many of which haven’t been supplying the pipelines of skills this country needs.”
