Lee Anderson calls for a cap on migration to the UK<\/h3>\n

Plain-speaking Conersative MP Lee Anderson has offered a simple solution to spiralling immigration by saying the Tories should adopt a cap on numbers.<\/p>\n

During a net migration figures debate in the House of Commons on Tuesday, the MP for Ashfield addressed Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick with his idea to solve the issue.<\/p>\n

Official figures published last week showed net migration reached a record 745,000 in 2022.<\/p>\n

Addressing the Minister of Immigration spelling out what he thought was a solution to the problem, he said: “People in Ashfield have had enough of this. There are 7,000 people on the council house waiting list. People are struggling to get a GP or dental appointment and are struggling to get school places.<\/p>\n

“Is it not about time that we had a cap on migration and put a clear divide between us and that lot over there?”<\/p>\n

Responding to Mr Anderson’s idea, Mr Jenrick said there were “strong arguments” for using caps.<\/p>\n

He said: “My hon. Friend speaks for my constituents as well as his, he represents a constituency near mine, in saying that the British public want us to get on with the job and bring down the numbers coming into the country.<\/p>\n

“The Prime Minister, the Home Secretary and I are committed to bringing forward a set of fundamental reforms that I hope will achieve the objective that my hon. Friend sets out.<\/p>\n

“There are definitely strong arguments for using caps, whether in general or on specific visas, but those are conversations we need to conclude within Government.”<\/p>\n
