Nuttall promises ‘one in, one out’ migration

PAUL NUTTALL, the Ukip leader, will tomorrow try to win back voters abandoning his party by pledging a “one in, one out” immigration policy.

The party will adopt a net migration target of zero over a five-year period, meaning the same number of people move to Britain as leave to live abroad.

It would mean cutting the number of migrants moving to the UK from 600,000 per year to around 300,000. A new Migration Control Commission would be created and told to deliver the target, which the party has framed as “balanced migration”.

Ukip suffered a humiliating result last week in the local elections as the party lost all but one council seat it contested.

Mr Nuttall will say: “Outside the EU, Britain will finally be able to reset its immigration policies to achieve its own priorities.”
