Diane Abbott MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, responding to reports that EU nationals living in the UK were sent deportation letters in error, said:
“EU nationals have already been made to feel like a bargaining chip in Brexit negotiations, so this error will no doubt cause a lot of anxiety.
“As this government is prone to U-turns the only assurance worth anything to those affected is official documentation of their settled status. If it is true that Theresa May intends to grant those EU citizens currently living in the UK the right to remain, they should simply be issued this now. Apparently official documents from the Home Office are easy enough to send!”
Diane Abbott MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, commenting on today’s migration statistics, said:
“Tory migration policy is a shambles. Against all advice, Theresa May continues to insist in maintaining an arbitrary net migration target of under 100,000, which has never once been met.
“Now it seems that her long-running campaign to malign international students is based on fantasy, with no evidence of a major issue with students overstaying.
“Some in government appear to be waking up to the idea that overseas students make a valuable contribution to our country and have belatedly asked the Migration Advisory Committee to gather evidence.
“Labour will offer fair rules and reasonable management of migration; prioritising jobs, growth and prosperity, not bogus net migration targets.”
