Immigration To Take Centre Stage At Next UK Election



Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps made a speech on 31st July 2013 which signals that the Conservatives intend to fight the next election as a party that is tough on UK immigration.

The UK now has fixed term parliaments and so the parties know that the next election will be held in June 2015. While this is still nearly two years away, commentators say that Mr Shapps's speech can be seen as 'a drawing of battle lines for the election.

Speaking in London, Mr Shapps said "In opposition, Labour opposed all the [Coalition's] changes to tighten border controls. They've even proposed going further - planning a higher target for UK immigration. So back in government, immigration goes up, bringing new pressure to our public services and fresh strains on health, housing and education."
