LONDON (Reuters) – Britains interior minister Sajid Javid said the governments post-Brexit immigration plans will not include a specific target to reduce annual net migration.
The government previously had a longstanding target to reduce net migration to below 100,000 a year.
“We remain committed to our objective of bringing net migration down,” Javid told BBC Radio. “Were not abandoning any pledge. Weve committed ourselves to bringing net migration to sustainable levels.”
