00:00 Well, I'm very clear that the levels of net migration are too high.
00:04 They need to come down to more sustainable levels.
00:06 It's encouraging that the Office for National Statistics last week did say
00:10 that the numbers are already slowing, but we need to do more.
00:12 I've already taken action to tighten the number of dependents
00:16 that students can bring when they come and study here.
00:18 We've seen a very sharp rise in those numbers.
