<p>David Cameron has insisted it is &#8220;perfectly possible&#8221; to cut immigration to the tens of thousands a year.</p>
<p>MPs have cast doubt on whether a limit on numbers from outside the European Union can significantly reduce net migration from its current level of almost 200,000 a year.</p>
<p>But, in an interview with Sky News, the Prime Minister indicated he remained committed to more than halving immigration and insisted that it was achievable.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you stand back and look at the big picture, actually immigration between Britain and the rest of the EU is pretty much in balance,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s between Britain and the rest of the world where it&#8217;s got out of balance and we have this large level of net migration into the UK.</p>
<p>&#8220;That is partly economic migration. It&#8217;s also about large numbers of people coming to settle in the UK. It&#8217;s also about a lot of people abusing the student regime.</p>
<p>&#8220;So I think if you tackle all of those things it&#8217;s perfectly possible &#8211; it&#8217;s my ambition &#8211; to get to net migration from the rest of the world coming down to the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Home Affairs Select Committee warned recently that the cap would make little difference to overall immigration and could damage the economy.</p>
<p>The issue has caused friction within the coalition, with Business Secretary Vince Cable expressing concern about the ability of firms to bring highly-skilled employees to the UK.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron told the Commons this month that the cap should not affect intra-company transfers and that he wanted &#8220;much better immigration control without disadvantaging business&#8221;.</p>
