Ministers want to tighten the rules for the Health and Care Worker visa so poorly qualified applicants cannot bring dependants with them
Rishi Sunak has been urged to make a crackdown on legal migration a key plank of his plans to shake up policy.
The Home Office has put forward plans for foreign care workers with poor qualifications to be blocked from bringing family members to the UK.
Ministers want to tighten the rules for the Health and Care Worker visa, which allows migrants to move to the UK to work in social care and bring dependants with them.
There have been growing concerns inside the Home Office that the visa route is being abused, fears that can be revealed via leaked documents seen by The Telegraph.
