Miriam Cates discovered herself in a conflict with BBC Presenter Mishal Hussain over the New Conservatives' bid to slash migration numbers.

The group of MPs has known as for the Prime Minister to ship on the 2019 manifesto and lower internet migration figures.

Appearing on BBC Radio 4′s Today programme, Ms Cates stated care residence bosses ought to make use of "local young people" as a substitute of counting on international labour.

But Ms Hussain stated: "There are residential care homes which simply would not be able to say to hospitals 'we are ready, we have the beds, you can discharge people' if they weren’t recruiting from overseas."

Hitting again, the MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge stated: "But we have five million people economically inactive in this country ..."

The BBC presenter responded: "But they don’t want to work in care, so who does those jobs?"

In response, Ms Cates stated: "Well they’re not going to work in care until we make the pay and conditions good enough, and the only way we’re going to do that is to cut off the supply of cheap labour from abroad."

The New Conservative Group has put ahead an alternate manifesto to chop migration, anticipated to be printed round 1pm right now.

This comes amid rising anger over the rising internet migration figures, which have reached 606,000 - greater than six occasions the extent the Conservatives promised.

The figures are a rise from pre-Brexit immigration ranges, with a lot of the migrants coming from non-EU nations.

In 2019, internet migration stood at 226,000.

The plan to slash migration has been backed by numerous purple wall MPs, together with Lee Anderson, Tom Hunt and Danny Kruger.
