Robert Jenrick says ECHR isn’t working<\/h3>\n

The Government is set to face another round of bad immigration headlines this week, with figures out on Thursday expected to confirm another year of extremely high net migration.<\/p>\n

The day after Wednesday\u2019s Autumn Statement, it\u2019s expected figures will be published confirming net migration is once again around 500,000.<\/p>\n

The influx would be around twice that seen in the years before Britain left the EU and will continue to blow apart the Tories\u2019 2019 manifesto pledge to bring down the overall rate of migration.<\/p>\n

However, 500,000 will represent a fall from the record peak of 637,000 in the year ending September 2022.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the figures, the Government is believed to be preparing a new policy that will reduce low-paid immigration.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reported foreign workers will now need a salary of more than \u00a330,000 to come to Britain, up from the current \u00a326,200 required by workers outside “shortage occupations”.<\/p>\n

However, even the new figure is well below the median UK wage of \u00a333,000.<\/p>\n

If predictions are correct, it\u2019s expected net migration will have fallen compared to last year thanks to an increasing amount of emigration, including overseas students returning home and a decline in the number of refugees from Ukraine and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

The proposals to increase the minimum salary threshold have been pushed by immigration minister Robert Jenrick, who told the Telegraph last week that failure to reduce net migration is a \u201cbetrayal\u201d of the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cNet migration is far too high. For more than 30 years, the British public has been voting for controlled migration. But politicians of all stripes have failed to deliver the migration system that they\u2019re seeking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we left the European Union, we took back control of the levers of migration.<\/p>\n
