HOW DAVID CAMERON'S 'TENS OF THOUSANDS' PLEDGE UNRAVELLED
'We would like to see net immigration in the tens of thous
'Levels
of immigration can return to where they were in the 1980s and 90s. Net
migration to this country will be in the order of tens of thousands each
year. No ifs. No buts. That's a promise we made to the British people.'
David Cameron, April 2011
'When
we made that comment ... we were very clear that was what we wanted to
do. It remains the objective towards which the Prime Minister and others
are working.' Theresa May, Nov 2014
'I
think we will keep the target. It is important because it is about not
just dealing with those coming into the system but also about making
sure that those people who shouldn't live here actually leave.' Theresa May, March 2015
'Our action has not been enough to cut annual net migration to the tens of thousands. That ambition remains the right one.' Conservative party manifesto, April 2015
