Part 3/9:
The Prime Minister emphasized the previous administration's failures, pointing to how net migration had soared under their governance. He asserted that his administration is committed to reducing both lawful and unlawful migration, citing the necessity of stricter controls and recent agreements with European nations aimed at curbing illegal crossings.
In contrast, the Leader of the Opposition challenged these claims, demanding explanation for the Prime Minister’s historical support for various immigration policies that they now criticize. The exchange highlighted a clear division in party lines concerning how best to approach immigration reform, an issue that remains a high priority for many constituents.
