00:00A new visa and migration crackdown. That's what Prime Minister Keir Starmer is due to outline
00:04in his speech at the Labour Party conference. Under the new immigration policy, businesses that
00:09break work visa rules will be banned from hiring employees from abroad. This is part of a plan to
00:14reduce migration and Britain's dependency on foreign workers. The Labour Party's proposals
00:18will ensure visa policies are linked to skills and market needs so as to prevent foreign labour
00:23from being used as an alternative to investing in training for young Brits. The government says that
00:28in recent years many industries have become increasingly reliant on foreign labour. But
00:33these new rules around migrant sponsorship will ensure employers guilty of flouting visa laws
00:38are banned from hiring from abroad. The government is also expected to clamp down on existing
00:42sponsors to make sure they comply with their obligations and will review rules introduced
00:47by the previous Conservative government. These new plans are part of Sir Keir's desire to create a
00:52Britain built to last, built with respect and built with pride.
