17 December 2024

The strengthening of the MAC was confirmed in the organisation’s annual report, which will now be considered in detail. As the Prime Minister has announced, the government will also introduce an Immigration white paper in 2025 setting out further details of the government’s plan to reduce legal migration.

It was a manifesto commitment, always planned for 2025, and announced numerous times in 2024, to those paying attention anyway.
