Boris Johnson pledges points-based UK immigration overhaul once PM
Boris Johnson has moved to seize the initiative in the Tory leadership race, pledging to deliver an Australian-style points-based immigration system if he becomes prime minister.
The frontrunner to succeed Theresa May said he wanted to rebuild the public's faith in the UK's immigration system and to be "tougher on those who abuse our hospitality"."We will restore democratic control of immigration policy after we leave the EU," he said.
