Julian Brazier: How tackling the causes of rising demand would help the Government solve the housing crisis

Last year, the ONS predicted that the population would rise by another three million over the next decade. But home building lags behind.

Andrew Green: The Tories’ immigration policy is weak and could easily fail

The most serious risk of all is the clear possibility that the new regime will lead to a massive increase of immigration.

By Lord Green | 3 December 2019 | 94 comments

Andrew Green: The new Immigration White Paper. Not just damaging, but a disaster – both for control and the Conservatives

Others would say that the appointment of a profoundly business-friendly Home Secretary was bound to lead to a weakening of immigration policy.

By Lord Green | 4 January 2019 | 199 comments

Peter Walker: By defining all construction jobs as ‘low-skilled’, the Migration Advisory Committee is making a serious mistake

The description is misleading, and will deter young people from entering the sector. Ultimately, it will constrain the labour supply needed to build more houses.

Immigration. Brexit simply means regaining control of our border policy. What we do with it then is up to us.

Andrew Green: Next up after today’s Chequers summit – immigration. Free movement must end. No ifs or buts.

Any exceptions for those with job offers would simply be flimsy camouflage for a wholesale retreat and for the abandonment of a major pledge to the British public.

By Lord Green | 6 July 2018 | 91 comments

Andrew Green: We need to see the Government’s planned post-Brexit immigration framework

Without a firm, stated base, we are vulnerable to being pushed around by the Commission. Ministers might find it uncomfortable to talk numbers, but they must.

Raab is right: the Migration Advisory Committee must weigh housing in its judgements

It’s remarkable that the official public body that advises the Government on such issues seems not to have published a report on this topic since 2011.

By Henry Hill | 8 April 2018 | 168 comments

Andrew Green: The Government has lost its way on immigration – and the Home Secretary shows no interest in reducing it

We should not allow ourselves, in the next phase of negotiations, to be drawn into further migration concessions in exchange for trade concessions.

By Lord Green | 26 March 2018 | 209 comments

What should our post-Brexit immigration policy look like?

Countries with which we strike future trade deals – the top priority for Party members according to our survey – should be treated more favourably than those with which we don’t.
