Immigration: policy, attitudes and where the Conservatives go next
Event type: Party conference fringeDate: 03/10/2023
Location: Victoria Suite, Manchester
The government is committed to reducing the number of people arriving in the UK – but with net migration hitting a record high, is that aim realistic? And if so, how will it affect the economy? On top of this, as public attitudes to immigration have become more positive in recent years, can the Conservatives remain in step with public opinion, or does the party risk alienating key voters ahead of the general election?
