Boris Johnson has urged Rishi Sunak to take fresh action to bring down net migration, amid pressure on the Prime Minister after the latest data showed a record number of arrivals last year.
It comes amid suggestions that immigration minister Robert Jenrick, one of the Prime Minister's close allies, has drawn up a five-point plan said to propose cutting the number of dependants foreign workers can bring with them to tackle the influx of people legally entering Britain.
Net migration into the UK peaked at 745,000 in the year to December 2022, which is a record high according to revised estimates published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Thursday.
