UKIP's Farage calls for 50,000-a-year cap on migrants
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said he would like to see the number of immigrants to the UK "below 50,000 a year" but says an overall cap on net migration would be "ludicrous".
He told the Today programme that governments could not stop people leaving the country, so net migration targets were not possible.
"This whole debate, we've been tied up with caps for five years, it's devalued the debate" he told Mishal Husain.
