16:21Now PlayingLaura Trott, the chief secretary to the Treasury, has admitted that migration figures are too high.
When asked if migration figures are too high, Ms Trott told Trevor Phillips: "Yes, they are too high.
"We as a government want to bring them down to more sustainable levels. I note that the ONS said they are trending down."
She adds this is why the government took "some of the strongest action ever" in May to "bring down the numbers" by reducing the number of dependants an overseas student can bring with them.
