Suella Braverman will argue that there is "no good reason" the UK cannot train its own workforce of lorry drivers and fruit pickers, in a speech increases pressure on Rishi Sunak to cut net migration.
The Home Secretary will be among the star turns at the National Conservatism Conference later on Monday, which comes only days after a similar gathering of Tory MPs and grassroots members in Bournemouth. Her speech, which will be seen as a warning to Cabinet colleagues against relaxing immigration visa rules in a bid to boost growth, comes as Mr Sunak grapples with signs of discontent and division with his party's ranks.
Ms Braverman will say: "I voted and campaigned for Brexit because I wanted Britain to control migration. So that we all have a say on what works for our country."But we need to get overall immigration numbers down. And we mustn't forget how to do things for ourselves. "There is no good reason why we can't train up enough HGV drivers, butchers or fruit pickers. Brexit enables us to build a high-skilled, high wage economy that is less dependent on low-skilled foreign labour.Suella Braverman will speak at the National Conservatism Conference on Monday.
