A new survey by British Future, conducted by ICM, found that 62% of people want to see fewer unskilled migrants coming to the UK.

This compares to only 12% who want to see a reduction in high skilled workers coming to the UK – 46% would like to see more of it. Only 37% of people believe the government will be able to meet the target of getting net migration down to tens of thousands in the next five years.

Meanwhile, a new report from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has called on the Government to offer free British citizenship to all NHS workers, all European children educated in the UK and waive the citizenship fee for all those who have been living in the UK for more than five years.
