Ministers Will Fail To Cut Immigration, Claims IPPR (4 January 2012)

Date: 04/01/2012
Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Ministers Will Fail To Cut Immigration, Claims IPPR

The Government will fail to fulfil its promise to cut net migration by 2015, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has claimed. The IPPR has predicted that net migration will fall from its 2010 level of 252,000 to 180,000 in 2012. The IPPR has estimated that the number of migrants entering into the UK from outside of the European Union will fall by around ten per cent in 2012 due to the new restrictions imposed on foreign students and the deteriorating economic climate. The institute also believes that the number of individuals entering into the UK from the European Union could drop and the number leaving the UK could increase. Matt Cavanagh, the associate director of UK migration at the IPPR, has told of how policy changes will begin to achieve considerable falls in immigration from outside of the European Union but added that the Government will still fail to meet its target.

Mr. Cavanagh has described 2012 as a “crucial year” for the Coalition Government and has warned that changes to the immigration policies may mean that businesses find it more difficult to employ overseas staff in the event that the economy picked up. The IPPR's report has stressed that additional restrictions on the number of skilled migrants entering into the UK are unlikely to achieve a significant cut in the overall number of migrants. Damien Green, the Immigration Minister, has maintained that the IPPR's prediction is consistent with the Government hitting its target of cutting net migration by 2015.
