Migration

In answer to questions about the legality of the measures on migration announced yesterday by the Home Secretary, the PMOS said that the proposals had been made for the reasons that had been stated and we were confident about their legality. As a result of our strong economy, it was important to recognise that the UK was in a position to welcome genuine migrants who intended to work. At the same time, as stated yesterday, we were addressing the concerns being expressed about so-called ‘benefit shopping’ and the issue of those who came to the UK but failed to find work.
