00:00We will not accept the claim that we can only deliver growth by accepting mass migration.
00:06We need a new approach which will mean that young people can build their lives
00:10in a country which does not have these pressures on housing and public services.
00:15And a new approach that starts by asking why government doesn't seem to be able to deliver that.
00:21The answer is because the system is broken.
00:24And until you accept that, any politician, all politicians are doomed to fail.
00:29We have to get the diagnosis right.
00:32We will review every policy, treaty and part of our legal framework,
00:37including the ECHR and the Human Rights Act.
00:40And in designing our detailed policies, we will put the following elements at the core.
00:46A strict numerical cap with visas only for those who will make a substantial and clear overall contribution.
00:54A fully transparent approach, publishing all the data so that for the first time,
00:58everyone can see the real costs and benefits of different types of migration.
01:04A reconsidered approach to citizenship and settlement,
01:07making the path to a British passport a privilege to be earned, not an automatic right.
01:14Zero tolerance for foreign criminals remaining in the UK.
01:18And, of course, an effective deterrent for illegal migration.
01:24Overall, our plans will look at all immigration routes, family, study, asylum and work,
01:30and at all ways people can enter the UK.
01:33We will look at the access of migrants and any dependence to welfare and public services.
01:38And we will need to improve the data and economic modelling that decision makers rely on.
