Reporting of emigration metrics should be improved to capture reasons for emigration.”<\/p>\n However, it also demands reforms to sort out the immigration of people coming into the country.<\/p>\n The issue is also set to be raised by Tory MPs from the New Conservatives and Common Sense Group at the rally for the manifesto.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

But should also ensure that we do not increase the fiscal burden on an already strained exchequer.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/secondary\/Longworth-4988946.jpg?r=1696241564704\")
