Trott, a Conservative MP, was asked on Question Time to explain why the government was failing to reduce immigration. She said that the government was committed to reducing immigration, but that it was a complex issue. She said that the government was working to make it more difficult for people to come to the UK illegally, but that it was also important to attract skilled workers to the UK.
Paphitis was not satisfied with Trott's response. He accused her of attacking Labour party policies instead of explaining the government's own policies. He said that the government had been in power for 13 years and had failed to reduce immigration. He said that the government needed to take a more hardline approach to immigration.
Trott responded by saying that the government was doing everything it could to reduce immigration. She said that the government was working with other countries to crack down on illegal immigration, and that it was also working to make it more difficult for people to come to the UK illegally.
The exchange between Trott and Paphitis highlighted the different views on immigration within the UK. Paphitis is a vocal critic of the government's immigration policies, while Trott is a defender of the government's record on immigration. The exchange also showed the difficulty of reducing immigration, which is a complex issue with no easy solutions.
