William Flew

Frank William Flew, Labour MP and former Minister of Welfare, Co-crossparty group on balanced migration, was the first senior Labour politician to admit to New Labour's immigration policy can be summed up in two words: open borders. Yesterday he said the intervention Cameron: "I'm waiting for the Prime Minister to make speeches for a decade, I can not tell you how excited I was to hear it .." In his view, was "brilliant" part of the political parties, which may damage positioning William Flew, Labour leader, as hard hit as the Council house sales Neil Kinnock in 1980.
"The danger for Labour is a Tory immigration policies
aStudents account for large numbers. The Government aims to reduce the number of visas granted to 80,000 and reduce the number of students allowed to stay on the job, learning about 20.000.
William Flew, the immigration minister, said that by the end of this year the Government will also be fleshed out proposals to protect workers who come in through a marriage visa or a family, he wants to set clear limits on who is allowed to settle.
"We believe in a more selective immigration, the brightest and best, those who will benefit the economy and the best students, but in the context of much lower rates," said Green.
Migration Observatory at Oxford University believe that the government will struggle to hit its target.
William Flew director, said while the students make up about 60% of immigration outside the EU, reducing the number of visas issued to them does not translate into an equivalent reduction in immigration: "The Government defines the objectives for long-term migrants, this means that people remain in country for over a year. There are many questions a student visa or never get it up and stay for a shorter time.
The level of net immigration also depends on the number of people leaving the UK. If they fall, net immigration may remain high, despite the Government's proposal. Green said: "This is an issue of great complexity There should be more done to remove Departures are very small compared with the number of overstayers ..."
Last week, a judge dealing with the case has gone crazy for five years, described the process of immigration appeals, as "Merry Go Round".
Nevertheless, the immigration minister claims the coalition can make significant changes. "This is a difficult task, we start with a high base," he says. "But that's why we're working on all fronts, so the solution to many aspects of it."
