Migrant crisis: Lee Anderson furious over net migration ‘we need a cap NOW!’

Lee Anderson has demanded a cap on net migration in a furious rant in the Commons.

The Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party said: “The people of Ashford have had enough of this.

“7,000 on the council house waiting list. People struggling to get a gp appointment. People struggling to get a dentist appointment, struggling to get school places.”

Gesturing to the Labour benches, he added: “Its about time minister that we have a cap on migration and put some divide between us, and that lot over there.”

Responding to Anderson, Immigration Minister Jenrick said: “Well, my honourable friend who represents the constituency near mine, speaks for my constituency as much as he does for his in saying that the British public want us to get on with the job now, in bringing down the numbers coming to this country.

“The Prime Minister, the Home Secretary and I are committed to bringing forward a set of fundamental reforms which I hope will achieve the objective that he’s set out.

“There are definitely strong arguments for using caps, whether in general or on specific visas. But these are conversations that we need to conclude with the Government.”

Figures from the Office for National Statistics published last week showed that net migration soared to 745,000 last year, a record figure.

This came just one week after the Government’s flagship plan to tackle illegal migration, the Rwanda pact, was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.

Backbench MPs are growing increasingly frustrated with the Government’s failure to tackle the problem, despite manifesto pledges to cut numbers.

The figures represent a dramatic increase from pre-Brexit immigration levels, with net migration for the year ending June 2015 – the year before the UK voted to leave the EU – at 336,000.
