9:32 am
too great in the channel, actually. it's quite windy. not ideal conditions for people coming across, but about 150 have arrived so far. this morning. we're just getting the net migration figure as. morning. we're just getting the net migration figure as . 660,000 net migration figure as. 660,000 606,000 actually. now that seems to me to be a lot lower than what's being briefed out at and being reported in in recent months. but perhaps that's kind of news management at its best. talk about figures north of 700,000, almost as much as a million. and then when the actual figure comes out of 606,000 as the net migration figure, still a record , the figure, still a record, the highest ever net migration figure, everybody breathes a sigh of relief and thinks, oh, well, that's not too bad, but it's 606,000 people. so the size of a small city that arrived in
9:33 am
the uk last year now what will be interesting as we delve into these figures is to find out how this breaks down. we know, for instance, that it probably the biggest portion of that net migration figure will be foreign student visas. now there were some figures that . reported some figures that. reported 470,000 student visas that were issued last year. 470,000 student visas that were issued last year . so we'll just issued last year. so we'll just get the actual accurate figure from the office for national statistics sticks, because if that figure is true, then it seems odd that with . 170,000 seems odd that with. 170,000 people arriving from ukraine last year because of the war in that country , and then of that country, and then of course, those who've come across on the points based work visa system that it would only be 606,000. so we'll get the breakdown in of those figures on that point based system, a lot
9:34 am
of controversy about that as well. andrew because the government decides to lower the criteria to try to fill the gaps in the health and social care sector , in the health service, sector, in the health service, they were crying out for more workers. so that points based system threshold was lowered so that the salary is were lower, but also so the skills required were lower. specifically in the health and care category. and it will be interesting to see actually how many of those came in. you were getting some more figures now. 3360 1000 student visas. so 100,000 short of those figures that we were seeing provisional figures that were being reported a few weeks back. so 300 and just say that again for me , tom. 361,000 student for me, tom. 361,000 student visas . now, that
9:35 am
for me, tom. 361,000 student visas. now, that is a significant number. there's some indications that about 140,000 and depending came across as well. so knowing, of course, that this is going to be the highest proportion of arrived in net, the net migration terms the government has pre empted that with the announcement that they're going to make it much harder for a lot of these foreign students who are coming here to be able to take dependents across ice as well. that will go some way to making a difference. but when you're talking about 361,000 people coming ng to the university sector from overseas in the course of a year, that is an enormous figure. can be explained, i suppose , in part explained, i suppose, in part because of covid during the covid year and a half, almost two years as there were very few foreign students who were coming across here because of all the restrictions . so then there was
9:36 am
restrictions. so then there was a significant surge. once those restrictions were lifted, let's see, of course, in the year ahead. what those figures are. but that is an enormous figure. andrew all right. that's mark wine,— andrew all right. that's mark we, own— andrew all right. that's mark white, our home— 'r: all right. that's mark white, our home security editor in dewi- — white, our home security editor in david. let's— white, our home security editor in david. let's get— white, our home security editor in david. let's get political reoeiion— in david. let's get political reaction here— in david. let's get political reaction here from darren wecornew— reaction here from darren mccaffrey, who is our political eiiior—wowl editor in westminster. now, nonen— editor in westminster. now,| darren,_taken editor in westminster. now,- darren,_taken for darren, have we been taken for nwgs— darren, have we been taken for nwgs neree— darren, have we been taken for mugs here? because i've read opoeoiwprie— mugs here? because i've read apocalyptic figures as high as 900,000.— apocalyptic figures as high as sooooo. ine— apocalyptic figures as high as 900,000. the legal migration figure— 900,000. the legal migration rigwre sowi— 900,000. the legal migration figure could be— 900,000. the legal migration figure could be 606,000. as mark wniie— figure could be 606,000. as mark wniie sows— figure could be 606,000. as mark wniie sows .— figure could be 606,000. as mark wniie sows . is— figure could be 606,000. as mark white says . is that— figure could be 606,000. as mark white says . is that the much white says. is that the much rower— white says. is that the much iower eni— white says. is that the much lower end of— white says. is that the much lower end of the— white says. is that the much lower end of the scale ? “43?“ lower end of the scale? yeah, indeed. — lower end of the scale? yeah, indeed. ani— lower end of the scale? yeah, indeed. and it— lower end of the scale? yeah, indeed. and it may well be the case. andrew that there is a bit of media management here, right, in saying that over the last couple of weeks it has certainly come to the newspaper's attentions. that figures were being bandied around at around three quarters of a million, potentially up to a million. clearly the figure, the official figure substantially figure today is substantially lower. as mark has just lower. however, as mark has just pointed out, it is still a record breaking figure and
9:37 am
still, frankly, a political headache government. headache for the government. it's how this it's interesting how this debate in ways is framed , though. in many ways is framed, though. i that you said figures i note that you said the figures could much worse on the could be much, much worse on the assumption that, you know, large scale migration is bad for the uk. and interesting uk. and it's interesting when you student you look at those student numbers, the university sector would completely the would say it's completely the opposite. that opposite. the very fact that we've got hundreds of thousands of foreign students coming to the really good the uk is actually really good for britain because it supports the sector , it supports the fact the sector, it supports the fact that we've got world leading universities in this country. it means that though a lot of means that even though a lot of students themselves students get themselves into a hell lot of debt hell of a lot of debt domestically, the fees could well even higher wasn't well be even higher if it wasn't for foreign students who well be even higher if it wasn't for pay reign students who well be even higher if it wasn't for pay muchstudents who well be even higher if it wasn't for pay much highers who well be even higher if it wasn't for pay much higher feeso clearly pay much higher fees than they do. and there is a whole big argument and you hear it within government there's whole big argument and you hear it bighin government there's whole big argument and you hear it big argument ment there's whole big argument and you hear it big argument when there's whole big argument and you hear it big argument when theresa e's whole big argument and you hear it big argument when theresa may, a big argument when theresa may, andrew was home secretary, saying that actually student figures be figures should not really be included migration included in net migration because yes, they come because students yes, they come here for a couple here and live here for a couple of years. some them might of years. some of them might stay jobs , but on the stay and get jobs, but on the whole, them actually whole, most of them actually leave. they're not going whole, most of them actually lerbecomel're not going whole, most of them actually lerbecome permanent going whole, most of them actually lerbecome permanent residents of
9:38 am
whole, most of them actually lertunited permanent residents of whole, most of them actually lertunited kingdom.t residents of whole, most of them actually lertunited kingdom. but;idents of whole, most of them actually lertunited kingdom. but yes,ts of the united kingdom. but yes, this is government that since this is a government that since 2010 has said that they want to see net migration down to tens of thousands. david cameron said it , theresa may said it of thousands. david cameron said it, theresa may said it. boris johnson got rid of it. but then she alluded to the fact he wanted net migration lower and rishi sunak done the same rishi sunak has done the same and they frankly failed and yet they have frankly failed on quhe on that policy quite spectacularly. if anything, things seem to be going in the wrong direction, if you like, from the government's point of view, and this is at a time in which people thought post brexit migration would just naturally fall it hasn't happened. and fall and it hasn't happened. and that largely down to that is largely also down to government let's be government policies. let's be clear is the clear about that. it is the government have allowed government that have allowed work actually work visas to be set actually quite low in terms of the medium wage that you need to be able to get in. even today with these record figures, the government is suggesting they're to is suggesting they're going to waive things like waive visa for things like fishermen allowed to come fishermen to be allowed to come in fruit pickers and others in for fruit pickers and others in for fruit pickers and others in particularly the in particularly in the agricultural this is agricultural sector. so this is something the government can control . and today, given the control. and today, given the fact where they want to be, they
9:39 am
have somewhat failed to do so. and we're going to have an urgent question here in parliament hour's parliament in about an hour's time, jenrick the time, robert jenrick the immigration will almost immigration minister will almost certainly to be certainly respond to be interesting see has interesting to see what he has to say. and just briefly, nonen— to say. and just briefly, darren, there's- and just briefly, darren, there's been a fallout. we darren, there's been a fallout. we know— darren, there's been a fallout. we know ,— darren, there's been a fallout. we know , between the home we know, between the home seereiow— we know, between the home secretary braverman and secretary suella braverman and the education— secretary suella braverman and the education secretary, gillian neegon— the education secretary, gillian neegon ,— the education secretary, gillian keegan , because— the education secretary, gillian keegan , because gillian keegan, because gillian keegan wonis— keegan, because gillian keegan wants-students- keegan, because gillian keegan wants-students to. keegan, because gillian keegan wants students to come wants ever more students to come in, wants ever more students to come in-ineir— wants ever more students to come in,-their dependents- in, plus their dependents ieeowse— in, plus their dependents because she— in, plus their dependents because she wants money in, plus their dependents- because she wants-money in because she wants more money in the because she wants more money in we wniwersiw— because she wants more money in the university sector. _ because she wants more money in the university sector. 135,000 oegenienis— the university sector. 135,000 dependents of— the university sector. 135,000 dependents of students came in rosi— dependents of students came in iosi weer. — dependents of students came in iosr weer. wow— dependents of students came in last year. now the— dependents of students came in last year. now the government is moving— last year. now the government is moving io— last year. now the government is moving ro snoo— last year. now the government is moving to stop that immediately. but moving to stop that immediately. on wiri— moving to stop that immediately. on wiii inor— moving to stop that immediately. but will that be— moving to stop that immediately. but will that be contested by in ine— but will that be contested by some in the cabinet? �*1’55?’ some in the cabinet? 135? i inni— some in the cabinet? 135? i win ii— some in the cabinet? 135? i win ii now— some in the cabinet? 135? i think it may well be. and some in the cabinet? �*1’55?’ g and but think it may well be. and but i think it may well be. and but i think also the— g and but i think also the government porenrioiiw— think also the government potentially might well go runner— potentially might well go runner ,— potentially might well go further , because those further, because those dependents, - further, because those dependents, i think only apply at dependents, i think only apply oi ine— dependents, i think only apply at the moment— dependents, i think only apply at the moment to those doing inns— at the moment to those doing inns oni— at the moment to those doing phds and maybe— at the moment to those doing phds and maybe masters. they ion-i— phds and maybe masters. they eon-i apply— phds and maybe masters. they eon-i oggw ro— phds and maybe masters. they don't apply to undergraduates. ironw— don't apply to undergraduates. irony geopie— don't apply to undergraduates. many people would suggest why do siwienis— many people would suggest why do siwienis non — many people would suggest why do students from overseas , if students from overseas, if wow-re— students from overseas, if wow-re going— students from overseas, if wow-re going io— students from overseas, if you're going to university, need to you're going to university, need io wing— you're going to university, need to bring dependents with you in the to bring dependents with you in we rinsi— to bring dependents with you in the first place?— to bring dependents with you in the first place? and the government _ the first place? and the government have hinted at,

the government on this. labour have just announced they have just announced that they will current rule that will scrap the current rule that allows worker in on allows a worker brought in on a shortage worker visa to be paid only 80% going rate, only 80% of the going rate, which argues encourages which labour argues encourages companies to underpay rather than workers than paying british workers properly a point of properly. so this is a point of vulnerability and if labour follow that with other , more follow that up with other, more coherent policies aimed at reducing our long term demand on imported labour, that's going to put the conservatives in a very difficult spot because they need to have those policies themselves. if the voters are going to take promises going to take these promises seriously. but the short seriously. but in the short term, department of term, the department of education, treasury, the education, the treasury, the department business, all department of business, they all want keep hitting that want to just keep hitting that short term fix of more and more immigration. right. that's immigration. all right. that's henry hill from conservativehome. i'm sure we're going— conservativehome. i'm sure we're going ro— conservativehome. i'm sure we're going ro ger— conservativehome. i'm sure we're going ro ger e— i'm sure we're going to get a completely oinerenr— going to get a completely different perspective on this now-seve— different perspective on this now steve valdez—symonds. now from steve valdez—symonds. no now from steve valdez—symonds. wo—nrogrenne. l no stranger to this programme. he no stranger to this programme. ne—rignrs- no stranger to this programme.| he_rights director he is the asylum rights director at he is the asylum rights director er annesrw— he is the asylum rights director at amnesty international. steve morning— at amnesty international. steve morning-now- at amnesty international. steve morning-how do- at amnesty international. steve morning how do you react morning to you. how do you react to morning to you. how do you react no mess— morning to you. how do you react to these figures?— morning to you. how do you react to these figures? 606,000 is an all to these figures? 606,000 is an eii nine— to these figures? 606,000 is an all time record— to these figures? 606,000 is an all time record figure . you?“ all time record figure. well, i do all time record figure. well, i us think— all time record figure. well, i

10:14 am
very to best explain it and what it means for britain's 32 million households. andrew i've put some numbers up on a graphic. what's happened today is that ofgem, the energy regulator , has announced that regulator, has announced that from the 1st of july, the energy price cap will be which regulates the average household combined gas and electricity bill has been cut from 3280 to 2074. as i said, from july. and so that means average bills will come down from 2500 where they currently are because aside from the cap, there's also an energy price guarantee, which is 2500, 2 to £2074 a year. and that is a significant reduction . andrew significant reduction. andrew it's a reduction of £426 a year, very good, which is 17. so almost a fifth. yeah you know what we do on the other hand, andrew, in march , march, the andrew, in march, march, the government removed , moved the government removed, moved the across the board energy subsidy
10:15 am
to all households of £400 a yeah to all households of £400 a year. and so actually with that subsidy removed, even though the price caps come down by just over £400, we're going to be no better off. i don't think we'll better off. i don't think we'll be particularly better off. now, it may be as energy markets normalise a little bit, the energy companies start giving deals, giving offers to give people bills maybe below the price cap for a bit. betting that the price cap will come down further as markets normalise further . and so it may normalise further. and so it may be that prices come down a little bit more, maybe by 10. but because the government's withdrawing the subsidy, just as the energy price cap is being cut and because most journalists will focus on the fact that the energy price cap is being cut, rather than understanding that the also being the subsidy is also being withdrawn and how many people are going get the time to are going to get the time to explain live television explain it on live television like i'm now explaining it to you. people will feel bills are coming more than they coming down more than they actually are. and explain actually are. and just explain gnaw,— actually are. and just explain finally-prices- actually are. and just explain finally,-prices are. finally, liam, why prices are niiing—rne- finally, liam, why prices are- falling_the wholesale falling anyway on the wholesale newer. — falling anyway on the wholesale newer. wnw— falling anyway on the wholesale newer. wnw is— falling anyway on the wholesale market. why is energy not as expensive— market. why is energy not as expensive? because is the effect
10:16 am
of ne— expensive? because is the effect or we — expensive? because is the effect of the war. yeah.— expensive? because is the effect of the war. yeah. so- expensive? because is the effect of the war. y/rzu?“ of the war. yeah. so after energy prices were rising steeply in the back end of 2021 because there was already argy bargy between russian gas traders us and western europe, western europe relies on russia or did for 40% of its gas. of course , when putin invaded course, when putin invaded ukraine on the 22nd of february last year, gas prices went to the moon. they spiked 50 times the moon. they spiked 50 times the normal amount and they were elevated last summer and last autumn. since then, though, they've plunged wholesale gas prices. andrew are now below where they were before . now the where they were before. now the war in ukraine, they're higher than the long term average, but they've plunged. the danger is that we have a colder winter this year. last winter was actually rather warm, so we didn't need as much gas as we thought we would otherwise. bills would have been even higher. and the danger, of course, on top of that it's course, on top of that and it's difficult this, but we difficult to say this, but we have to, if we're being responsible, is that the geopolitical situation worsens more eu weans itself more and the eu weans itself
10:17 am
completely off russian gas. we use a lot of russian gas around the side. last year, by the way, as those sanctions bite. so we could see another spike in energy prices this winter. i don't want to i don't want it to happen, but i'd be wrong not to point the possibility. and point out the possibility. and it's worth saying, andrew, it's also worth saying, andrew, that don't have that that even if we don't have that energy prices now we have an energy prices now say we have an annual household bills, 1800 to £2000. well during the ten years before 2022, they averaged about £1,000. so it's as if we're going back to a steady state, a new normal, where energy bills are roughly twice where they were in real terms before the war in ukraine. and that is going to impact not just households. it's all going to also going to impact companies because there's even less subsidy for energy bills for companies . and of course, that companies. and of course, that feeds into inflation. this is a major reason why uk inflation is 8 to 10% at the moment and us inflation is below 5% because they have much, much cheaper
10:18 am
energy bills than we do, not least because they have their own energy supplies and not least frack gas. fracking and of course we don't frack.- t 91: ?t.

delving into them. '“r: overall figures that we've been delving into them. ' “r: delving into them. and you sieeriw— delving into them. and you sieeriw er— delving into them. and you clearly are describing what we've got from the for office national statistics has been quite staggering . well, we found quite staggering. well, we found some absolutely shocking figures actually in the home office figures. so they come out in tandem with the ons figures, but they cover a slightly different period. so the ons figures are for the whole of the calendar year of 2022. the home office figures, which we've just got, which are also for a period of a yean which are also for a period of a year, are actually running from the end of march 2022 to the end of march this year. so encompassing the first three months of this year. and let me just read through these because they are , i would say, they are, i would say, staggering 235,000 work visas issued were what the ons said for the whole calendar year of 2022. well, when you move that on three months to march 2023,
10:20 am
the home office say that 488,000 did work vs visas were issued and that . twitch as far as we and that. twitch as far as we can see, are not in those ons headune can see, are not in those ons headline figures anyway that have come through on the student visa front. will the ons said for the calendar year of 2022 , for the calendar year of 2022, 361,000 student visas were issued with 85,000 dependents coming . the home office figures coming. the home office figures taking it . to coming. the home office figures taking it. to march coming. the home office figures taking it . to march 2023 taking it. to march 2023 632,000. student visas, including dependents that have come that is up 34% on their previous year's figures. then also adding to that humanitarian vian visas that were issued for ukraine and afghanistan and hong kong, 172,000 people came across
10:21 am
on humanitarian visas in the year to march. this year, if you add all of those figures up together, you get way north of 606,000. you get just under 1.3 million people in terms of net migration to the uk . million people in terms of net migration to the uk. in taking into account those home office figures which , as i have to say, figures which, as i have to say, knocks it on three months. so ons figures for the whole calendar year of 2022. the home office figures knock it on three months. so it's the end of march 2022 to the end of march 2023. some quite astonishing figures. when you delve down into it. well mark, that's why we've got you and that's why we love you. that's mark white, our home and sesurirw— that's mark white, our home and sesurirw eonor— that's mark white, our home and security editor in— that's mark white, our home and security editor in dover. going srunsning— security editor in dover. going crunching into— security editor in dover. going crunching into those because so ner— crunching into those because so in is— crunching into those because so in is we— crunching into those because so

10:30 am
andifs the foreigners that are around and it's taking jobs it's taking houses and there isn't a cohesive plan to put it to stitch it all together, which is the normally has been a cohesive plan to put everything together. and there isn't you know, it doesn't matter what you look at fuel prices, electricity, gas, you know, climate change. yeah should we be burning gas ? but if should we be burning gas? but if the gas is cheaper than the electric city and they just keep ramping the electricity, you're never going to move away. you know, i've got oil, oil fired, heating. know, and there heating. you know, and there isn't pipeline to isn't there isn't a pipeline to connect the gas. that sense of son— connect the gas. that sense of son or— connect the gas. that sense of sort of desperation.— t“t 91: that sense of sort of desperation. your local irusiressnen— sort of desperation. your local businessman ,_ sort of desperation. your local businessman , what have businessman, what changes have you businessman, what changes have wou-neree— businessman, what changes have you-here? what's- businessman, what changes have you here? what's your you seen here? what's your businesse— you seen here? what's your business?iour_ you seen here? what's your business? os” you seen here? what's your business? ” l business? our business is like flowers , gifts and everything. flowers, gifts and everything. so over the years, because our shopis so over the years, because our shop is running nine years now, so , so over the years we noticed so, so over the years we noticed that at the start when we opened because we have like east european. so a lot of english people came to our shop and we noficed people came to our shop and we noticed that we speaking different languages. they they said, oh, no, it's not our like
10:31 am

10:37 am
integration. the government is taking decisive action on both counts. under the points based system, we introduce post—brexit, we can control immigration. we must control immigration. we must control immigration and we will shadow home secretary yvette cooper. hean home secretary yvette cooper. hear, hear. thank you, mr sneeker— hear, hear. thank you, mr sgeeker. — hear, hear. thank you, mr speaker. : hear, hear. thank you, mr- speaker. today's extraordinary figures , including doubling the figures, including doubling the number of work visas since the pandemic , show that the pandemic, show that the conservatives have no plan and no grip on immigration. they show the chaos in this government . work visas are up government. work visas are up 119% since before the pandemic. conservatives have totally failed to tackle endemic skills shortages and get people back to work. net migration is more than twice the level that ministers were aiming for and considerably more than that compared to the home secretary's claim aims. the asylum backlog is at a record high. the opposite of the prime
10:38 am
minister's promise to clear the backlog. this year and less than 1% of last year's small boat arrivals have had a decision yet. where is the home secretary 7 yet. where is the home secretary ? who is in charge of these policies ? she's gone to ground. policies? she's gone to ground. there are reports she's not even going to do media. she's not come to this house. she's in internal meetings, presumably more private courses arranged by the civil servants . acas what is the civil servants. acas what is the civil servants. acas what is the point of her net migration should come down and we would expect it to do so. but the continued gap between the government's reality and the government's reality and the government's rhetoric and the reality is very damaging . reality is very damaging. rightly, the uk has given support to ukraine and hong kong, as rightly. we welcome international students who bring substantial benefits but changes on family are sensible. international recruitment will also always be important, so we get the skills and talent we need. but this is a major increase in employers turning to overseas recruitment , and the overseas recruitment, and the government has no plan to
10:39 am
increase training or properly tackle those skills shortages from here at home. so on health and social care, one of the biggest areas, why will he not agree to labour's plan to increase the training for nurses and doctors in the uk paid for by getting rid of the non—doms exemption ? will he ditch the exemption? will he ditch the unfair 20% wage discount ? that unfair 20% wage discount? that means shortage occupations can actually undercut and pay below the going rate , making it even the going rate, making it even harder to get the training and the skills and the fair recruitment that we need. everyone should be paid the going rate . mr deputy speaker. going rate. mr deputy speaker. mr mr speaker, there has been no action at all to address the huge backlog in the asylum system and to make sure that claims are properly processed. we need. immigration is important to this country and we need a system that works, but it has to be properly controlled and managed rather than the chaos that the government has

11:15 am
fit to lower the price cap. i would make an initial comment that price caps in general are not economists don't tend to favour them as a as a mechanism to generate more competition and lower consumer prices because as the cap tends to have adverse effects on production and it tends to cause some entrance in the market to exit. so long term, a price cap is generally not a good idea. it generally hasn't worked. now, having said that, obviously we are supportive of anything that lowers energy costs, energy costs are a massive burden for uk consumers and also uk businesses. so but but it isn't just about ofgem lowering the price cap. it's also about all the other things. and there isn't any one single silver bullet that's going to solve the energy problem in the uk or indeed elsewhere. you need to do
11:16 am
lots of different things. some of those things involve producing more, some of those things involve dealing with with our interconnection policies into the grid . and you want to into the grid. and you want to do everything possible to lower the costs of production and transmission and distribution of energy around the country . energy around the country. shankar wholesale prices are ttttthe. — shankar wholesale prices are ttttthe. ate— shankar wholesale prices are falling. are we— shankar wholesale prices are falling. are we ever going to energy— falling. are we ever going to see energy prices in our homes as see energy prices in our homes to they— see energy prices in our homes to they wee— see energy prices in our homes as they were before covid before the wt— as they were before covid before the th— as they were before covid before the th .— as they were before covid before the war in . ukraine— as they were before covid before the war in . ukraine well, it the war in. ukraine well, it very— the war in. ukraine well, it very much— the war in. ukraine well, it very much depends on what we do . t— very much depends on what we do . t meth— very much depends on what we do . t t— very much depends on what we do . i mean, i don't— very much depends on what we do . i mean, i don't i— very much depends on what we do . i mean, i don't i don't- very much depends on what we do . i mean, i don't i don't see a reason why we can't have lower energy costs going forward . but energy costs going forward. but that will require a significant energy reform in the uk . now, energy reform in the uk. now, one of the good things about the recently announced regulatory reform package that secretary of state for business and trade
11:17 am
kemi badenoch announced recently was an effort to deal with this and to reform them across the board in different areas of energy regulation to ensure that we can lower those costs . it is we can lower those costs. it is it's a crucial issue because it's a crucial issue because it's one of those things that if your energy costs are very high, then everything that you do is more expensive, your food is more expensive, your food is more expensive, your food is more expensive, your transportation is more expensive, everything is more expensive, everything is more expensive , and your businesses expensive, and your businesses can't be competitive . so it's a can't be competitive. so it's a real priority to do this. and i think with some of these energy reforms that are coming, we will see we will see more competition and lower prices going forward. i know you're pressed for time. i know you're pressed for time. i was just going to ask you ttout— i was just going to ask you ttout thtt— i was just going to ask you about that and— i was just going to ask you about that and i'm glad you ttteet— about that and i'm glad you raised that. _ about that and i'm glad you raised that. the— about that and i'm glad you raised that. the cost of transportation we saw in those thtttttoh— transportation we saw in those inflation figures— transportation we saw in those inflation figures yesterday, whteh— inflation figures yesterday, which frankly— inflation figures yesterday, which frankly were disappointing town— which frankly were disappointing awn—er,- down to 8.7% from 10.1, i thought— down to 8.7% from 10.1, i thoughtlwas- down to 8.7% from 10.1, i thought was going to be thought it was going to be toeett— thought it was going to be closer-food- thought it was going to be. closer-food inflation closer to 8. but food inflation are closer to 8. but food inflation etttt— closer to 8. but food inflation etttt wty— closer to 8. but food inflation are still way up— closer to 8. but food inflation

' dint a big part of that. absolutely. though for different sectors, energy is a different component in the mix . so if you're in the mix. so if you're producing steel, for example, almost half of the cost of production of steel is a is your energy cost. if you're moving food around the country , then food around the country, then obviously your transportation costs are a huge component of the cost. now, one of the things that happened with the russian invasion of ukraine in is it led to shortages of things like fertiliser and so forth . and fertiliser and so forth. and that meant that the costs of for farmers went up significantly and that cost had to be shared , and that cost had to be shared, sent on to the passed on to the consumer. so what you want to do in order to lower overall inflation in the uk is deal with those sectors that are almost the lifeblood areas of the
11:19 am
economy. the things that if they remain very expensive, you really can't lower the costs of those basic staples of family life. so energy is sort of top of the is top of the list . life. so energy is sort of top of the is top of the list. but, you know, you need to also figure out ways of lowering your transportation costs, your land costs, you know, planning and so forth. and it's only if you do that that you can lower those the sort of basket of people's weekly shopping . you can lower weekly shopping. you can lower those costs to a more manageable amount. all right. that's shthtet— all right. that's shanker singham, who is, of course, chief— shanker singham, who is, of course, chief executive of computtte— course, chief executive of computtte .— course, chief executive of computare . thanks so much for computare. thanks so much for joining— computare. thanks so much for joining ue— computare. thanks so much for joining tote— computare. thanks so much for joining us. lots of— computare. thanks so much for joining us. lots of views coming in joining us. lots of views coming th hete,— joining us. lots of views coming in here, particularly on the htettttoh— in here, particularly on the migration figures. hannah says twe— migration figures. hannah says twe got— migration figures. hannah says he got htxet— migration figures. hannah says i've got mixed views on this th— i've got mixed views on this issue. i'm married to a httztttth— issue. i'm married to a brazilian. my- issue. i'm married to a brazilian. my wife came legally to the— brazilian. my wife came legally to the-t— brazilian. my wife came legally to the-a decade— brazilian. my wife came legally to the a decade ago, got to the uk a decade ago, got a wow— to the uk a decade ago, got a wow-hte— to the uk a decade ago, got a work-has been- work visa and has been contributing— work visa and has been contributing uk work visa and has been- contributing-uk economy contributing to the uk economy ever since. and— contributing to the uk economy ever since. and steve says tthoet— ever since. and steve says tthoet every— ever since. and steve says almost every problem we have is town— almost every problem we have is down to— almost every problem we have is down to htee— almost every problem we have is down to mass immigration. we wotet— down to mass immigration. we voted—to— down to mass immigration. we wotet—to etoh- down to mass immigration. we voted to stop moving voted repeatedly to stop moving peohte— voted repeatedly to stop moving

11:27 am
people arrived on humanitarian visas. you think . ukraine to 20% visas. you think. ukraine to 20% over the same period. also, of course, we allowed a lot of people to come in on humanitarian reasons from hong kong, a former british colony. and that, of is because and that, of course, is because of appalling crackdown of the appalling crackdown on human democracy. human rights and democracy. arnie hong kong by by china. arnie in hong kong by by china. the students, of course, are a large reason why foreign students are a large part of why those figures are so high . those figures are so high. evidence suggests they typically stay for shorter periods. but can anybody tell me why the government is only now saying students who come here from abroad are not allowed to bring their dependents? they brought in 135,000 dependents in the last 12 months. why? and why are they only getting rid of it now? so the government will be quietly quite pleased about these figures, frankly, because we've been led to believe the figures could be between 750,000 and 900,000. but don't fall for it. don't fall for it. it's been
11:28 am
it's too high. 606,000 is not what we wanted in the tory manifesto in 2015, when immigration was mentioned 29 times, i counted today it was going to be in the low tens of thousands. going to be in the low tens of thousands . what are people are thousands. what are people are saying to us? daniel harlow says the only way illegal immigration can be paused is to stop allowing them free houses , free allowing them free houses, free benefits, free education and free health care. lesley says we need information on the number of brits leaving with breakdown by nationality. and i worry about the exodus of our own skilled professionals. and paul says these problems have been going on for years with local communities suffering from unwanted immigration. but nobody would listen. and of course, our own bev turner is in today. she is in boston in lincolnshire. they voted seven by 75. they voted with 75. in favour of brexit. back in that referendum in 2016, free movement of people was a huge part of that . and was a huge part of that. and from what bev's hearing on the streets of boston, they ain't too impressed by the fact
11:29 am
606,000 people more came last yeah 606,000 people more came last year. now, still to come, we're going to be speaking to our very own jacob rees—mogg. he's going to crunch those immigration to crunch down those immigration figures. also have figures. he'll also have something to something interesting to say because a positive because there is a positive brexit , a new car brexit story, a major new car factories expected to be announced in the west country by the next year . we the government next year. we beat spain to get it. if only we beat spain to get it. if only we beat the germans too. that's after that's all coming up after your with rhiannon your morning news with rhiannon jones. i your morning news with rhiannon jones . i think it's your morning news with rhiannon jones. i think it's a bit of a tht— jones. i think it's a bit of a thtt ot— jones. i think it's a bit of a thtt ot t. — jones. i think it's a bit of a kind of a. andrew.- i think it's a bit of a kind of a.
