Green: Immigration system is being overhauled

Immigration minister Damian Green responds to suggestions the UK’s immigration policy is not working:

“This government is overhauling the uncontrolled immigration system it inherited.

“We are already radically reforming the points-based system and other routes of entry that have been subject to widespread abuse and will re-introduce exit checks by 2015.

“We are making greater use of intelligence to remove people with no right to be here and are concluding individual cases faster.”
