Tories' proposals for new immigration system slammed as ‘unjust, discriminatory and poorly designed’ by MPs

THE Tories’ proposals for a new immigration system were slammed by MPs of all parties in the Commons today as “unjust, discriminatory and poorly designed.”

The EU Withdrawal Bill, which formally ends Britain’s commitment to freedom of movement with the EU, was due to reach its final stages in the Commons today. 

MPs rushed to introduce a series of amendments, including clauses to prevent “hostile environment” policies being extended to EU citizens, a time limit on detention and scrapping other barriers that migrants face to healthcare and the welfare state.
