At a press conference in Downing Street, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer outlined new immigration measures aimed at significantly reducing the numbers of migrants to the UK, emphasizing the need for sustainable growth through skills investment. In response to questions regarding the potential negative impact of these measures on growth, Starmer stated that previous high migration levels did not correlate with growth, highlighting the importance of integrating skills training with immigration policy. The new white paper is designed to address both immigration and the skills gap in the UK economy.
So we've had the highest net rate migration when the last government lost control to nearly one million and stagnant growth, so that link doesn't hold on that evidence.
This white paper is not just the white paper on immigration it's also a white paper that deals with skills and training... because we've under invested chronically in skills and growth.
