Wes Streeting says Labour won't let care staff's dependants come into Britain

There are no plans for Labour to reverse government policy and let health and care workers bring foreign dependants into Britain, the party's health spokesman has said.

At a campaign event in Worcester on Wednesday, Mr Streeting told reporters that Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper had 'no plans' to change the rules. Ministers in Rishi Sunak's government brought in the ban on dependants in March to crack down on high levels of legal migration 'We are still turning away thousands of straight-A students from studying medicine each year. That's something we've got to remedy,' he added.
