The shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones, said the party intended to get net migration back to normal levels, as figures are extremely high.
The increase is largely down to a rise in people coming to the UK to work in the health and social care sectors.
When asked on BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg if Labour could bring numbers down within the first term of a government, Jones said: I think we probably would hope to do that, yes, but we've talked about a decade of national renewal. He said it would take some time to fix the deep structural problems left by successive Conservative governments.
