14:09Theresa May’s spokesman was repeatedly pressed on the migration proposals by journalists after prime minister’s questions on Wednesday. He attempted to stick to the line that “we never comment on leaked documents, or indeed draft leaked documents” and confirmed that the government wants to see immigration fall. Nobody is suggesting an end to immigration. But at the same time, we have said that we do want employers to do more to improve the skills of British workers, and equip them with those skills going forward. He also confirmed the government would hope to negotiate a transitional period, during which any new migration system would be implemented.
