Sir Keir Starmer has promised the government's new immigration measures will mean net migration falls "significantly" over the next four years.
The prime minister unveiled plans to ban recruitment of care workers from overseas, tighten access to skilled worker visas and raise the costs to employers in an effort to curb near record net migration.
He did not set a precise target, but the Home Office estimated the policies could lead to a 100,000 drop in immigration per year by 2029 – based on analysis of just eight of the core policies where "a quantitative assessment" could be made.
Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch said: "This is nowhere near the scale of the change we need to see."
