Net migration should be capped at the 'tens of thousands', senior Tory MPs have told Rishi Sunak.

A report will this week urge the Government to use its Brexit freedoms to significantly reduce legal migration numbers.

It argues that an annual migration budget should be presented to the House of Commons, setting out all the trade-offs to be considered when it comes to migration, such as how many extra hospital beds or new homes will be needed for every 10,000 migrants.

Caps on both overall migration numbers and migration via individual routes would then be agreed by votes in Parliament.
