Immigration

Asked if Frank Field s report into immigration would be discussed at Cabinet, the PMS said that the items on today s Cabinet agenda related to the economy.

Asked if the Prime Minister had a view on the report, the PMS said that our general position on immigration and caps was well known. As Liam Byrne had been saying, we had a tough new points system, that determined which new comers came to the country and were rewarded permanent settlement. The key thing about the points system was that only the migrants with the skills Britain needed were able to come. The points system also gave us the flexibility to ensure that we had people coming into the country who were benefiting the economy.
