The New Conservatives group, made up of 25 MPs on the right of the party are urging the prime minister to take action to reduce immigration, saying the system is 'too lenient'.
Right-wing Tory MPs have urged Rishi Sunak to take action to reduce immigration, saying the system is"too lenient".
The New Conservatives group, made up of 25 MPs on the right of the party, will put forward a number of proposals to the prime minister in a report released on Monday, including ending the temporary visa scheme for care workers and capping the number of refugees who are allowed to settle in the UK. The group, which includes the party's deputy chairman, Lee Anderson, said reducing the number of migrants coming to the country was a key part of Tory victories in so-called red wall seats in 2019, and the current level was having"destabilising economic and cultural consequences".
The document comes as pressure grows on the prime minister from within his own party over his immigration policies.
