Immigration: Clear plan needed to make it easier to recruit British workers for vacancies instead

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the Government's new immigration policy, Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson, Lisa Smart MP:

"After the previous Conservative Government’s dire mismanagement, our immigration system has been left in tatters and public trust has been shattered. It’s right that the government is taking steps to fix our broken immigration system to ensure it works for our country.

"However, this must be coupled with a clear plan to make it easier to recruit British workers to fill vacancies instead - including implementing our Carer’s Minimum Wage and speeding up reforms to the apprenticeship system - to ensure these changes don’t have unintended consequences for our economy."
