"Theresa May said the Conservatives will commit to reducing net migration to the UK to tens of thousands.

The Prime Minister said she wanted to deliver “sustainable numbers” of people coming to Britain and defined that number as being less than 100,000.

Mrs May's comments come after Karen Bradley, the Culture Secretary, said that the Government’s immigration policy should not be about numbers.

Speaking to Sky News, Mrs May said: “We have been very clear, as I was as Home Secretary for six years, that it is important that we have net migration that is in sustainable numbers.

“We believe sustainable numbers are the tens of thousands.

“Obviously leaving the European Union means we can bring in control in relation to people moving from the EU into the UK as well as people from outside the EU coming into the United Kingdom.”

When asked whether the Tories would set another target, she said: “We want to see sustainable net migration in this country.

"I believe that sustainable net migration is in the tens of thousands.

“Leaving the European Union enables us to control our borders in relation to people coming from the EU as well as those who are coming from outside the EU.”"

Is she counting British pensioners living overseas in that?
