“UK to Seek Immigration Curbs through Targeted Visa System soon.”
As per the details, the UK PM May has asked a team of ministers to cut immigration levels. This will be through a targeted UK visa system. This has been revealed by a government document published yesterday.
Chaired by UK PM May, the UK immigration taskforce has been asked to give annual UK net immigration in tens of thousands. Apart from May, the UK immigration taskforce also features 12 other UK ministers. These include three leading Brexit campaigners David Davis, Boris Johnson and Liam Fox.
