Too many people go to university and more should get a technical education to fill labour shortages and reduce Britain’s “addiction” to immigration, Conservative MPs have said.
The New Conservatives, a group of more than 25 MPs elected since the 2016 Brexit vote, said that immigration was threatening “cultural security”.
They presented a 12-point plan to cut immigration by more than 400,000 by the next election and warned that failure to cut numbers would lead the party to defeat. The group wants at least some of its policies adopted at the party conference in October.
