e debate 220 david cameron responded to grieve s comments by agreeing that policies of state multiculturalism that treat social groups as distinct for example policies that treat british muslims as muslims rather than as british citizens are wrong however he expressed support for the premise of multiculturalism on the whole 220 official statistics showed that eu and non eu mass immigration together with asylum seeker applications all increased substantially during cameron s term in office 221 222 223 however this was not solely as a result of intentional government policy during this period there were significant refugee flows into the uk and an increased level of asylum applications due to conflict and persecution globally 224 225 in 2019 former conservative home secretary priti patel announced that the government would enact stricter immigration reforms crack down on illegal immigration and scrap freedom of movement with the european union following the completion of brexit 226 in the four years following this announcement net migration increased annually in large part due to the number of health care workers and their dependents that were invited into the country because of recruitment problems caused by brexit and the pandemic 227 228 the number of asylum seekers dropped as a proportion of total net migrants whereas the number of people coming to the uk to study increased during that time period 229 family policy as prime minister david cameron wanted to support family life in britain and put families at the centre of domestic social policymaking 230 he stated in 2014 that there was no better place to start in the conservative mission of building society from the bottom up than the family which was responsible for individual welfare and well being long before the welfare state came into play 230 he also argued that family and politics are inextricably linked 230 both cameron and theresa may aimed at helping families achieve a work home balance and have previously proposed to offer all parents 12 months parental leave to be shared by parents as they choose 231 this policy is now in place offering 50 weeks total parental leave of which 37 weeks are paid leave which can be shared between both parents 232 other policies have included doubling the free hours of childcare for working parents of three and four year olds from 15 hours to 30 hours a week during term time although parents can reduce the number of hours per week to 22 and spread across 52 weeks of the year the government also introduced a policy to fund 15 hours a week of free education and childcare for 2 year olds in england if parents are receiving certain state benefits or the child has a sen statement or diagnosis worth 2 500 a year per child 233 234 health and drug policy they introduced the health and social care act 2012 constituting the biggest reformation that the nhs has ever undertaken 235 the conservative party supports drug prohibition 236 the party has rejected both decriminalising drugs for personal use and the creation of safe consumption sites 237 in 2024 the conservative government passed a law to phase out smoking by banning the sale of tobacco to anyone born in or after 2009 238 foreign policy margaret thatcher second left ronald reagan far left and their spouses in 1988 thatcher and reagan developed a close relationship against the soviet union for much of the 20th century the conservative party took a broadly atlanticist stance in relations with the united states members of eu and nato favouring close ties with the united states and similarly aligned nations such as canada australia new zealand south africa korea taiwan singapore and japan the conservatives have generally favoured a diverse range of international alliances ranging from the north atlantic treaty organization nato to the commonwealth of nations the conservatives have proposed a pan african free trade area which it says could help entrepreneurial dynamism of african people 239 the conservatives pledged to increase aid spending to 0 7 of national income by 2013 239 they met this pledge in 2014 when spending on aid reached 0 72 of gdp and the commitment was enshrined in uk law in 2015 240 close anglo american relationship have been an element of conservative foreign policy since the second world war though the anglo american relationship in foreign affairs has often been termed a special relationship a term coined by winston churchill this has often been observed most clearly where leaders in each country are of a similar political stripe david cameron had sought to distance himself from former us president bush and his neoconservative foreign policy 241 despite traditional links between the uk conservatives and us republicans london mayor boris johnson a conservative endorsed barack obama in the 2008 election 242 however after becoming prime minister johnson developed a close relationship with republican president donald trump 243 244 245 this has been described as a reestablishing of the special relationship with the united states following britain s withdraw from the european union as well as returning to the links between the conservatives and republican party 246 beyond relations with the united states the commonwealth and the eu the conservative party has generally supported a pro free trade foreign policy within the mainstream of international affairs although stances have changed with successive leadership the modern conservative party generally supports cooperation and maintaining friendly relations with israel historic conservative statesmen such as arthur balfour and winston churchill supported the idea of national home for the jewish people under margaret thatcher conservative support for israel was seen to crystallise 247 248 support for israel increased under the leaderships of theresa may and boris johnson with prominent conservative figures within the may and johnson ministries strongly endorsing israel in 2016 theresa may publicly rebutted clarification needed statements made by us secretary of state john kerry over the composition of the israeli government 249 250 in 2018 the party pledged to proscribe all wings of the lebanese based militant group hezbollah and this was adopted as a uk wide policy in 2019 251 252 in 2019 the conservative government under boris johnson announced plans to stop the influence of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement on local politics which included prohibiting local councils from boycotting israeli products 253 254 255 defence policy after the terrorist attacks of 11 september 2001 the conservative party supported the coalition military action in afghanistan the conservative party believed that success in afghanistan would be defined in terms of the afghans achieving the capability to maintain their own internal and external security they have repeatedly criticised the former labour government for failing to equip british forces adequately in the earlier days on the campaign especially highlighting the shortage of helicopters for british forces resulting from gordon brown s 1 4bn cut to the helicopter budget in 2004 256 the conservative party believes that in the 21st century defence and security are interlinked it has pledged to break away from holding a traditional strategic defence review and committed to carrying out a more comprehensive strategic defence and security review sdsr 257 as well as an sdsr the conservative party pledged in 2010 to undertake a fundamental and far reaching review of the procurement process and how defence equipment is provided in britain and to increase britain s share of the global defence market as government policy 258 the conservative party upholds the view that nato remains and should remain the most important security alliance for the united kingdom 259 it has advocated for the creation of a fairer funding mechanism for nato s expeditionary operations and called for all nato countries to meet their required defence spending 2 of gdp some conservatives believe that there is scope for expanding nato s article v to include new threats such as cybersecurity the conservative party aims to build enhanced bilateral defence relations with key european partners and believes that it is in britain s national interest to cooperate fully with all its european neighbours it has pledged to ensure that any eu military capability must supplement and not supplant british national defence and nato and that it is not in the british interest to hand over security to any supranational body 259 the conservatives see it as a priority to encourage all members of the european union to do more in terms of a commitment to european security at home and abroad regarding the defence role of the european union the conservatives pledged to re examine some of britain s eu defence commitments to determine their practicality and utility specifically to reassess uk participation provisions like permanent structured cooperation the european defence agency and eu battlegroups to determine if there is any value in britain s participation the conservatives support the uk s possession of nuclear weapons through the trident nuclear programme 259 european union policy though the principal architect of the uk s entry into the european communities which became the european union was conservative prime minister edward heath most contemporary conservative opinion is opposed to closer economic and particularly political union with the eu this is a noticeable shift in british politics as in the 1960s and 1970s the conservatives were more pro europe than the labour party for example in the 1971 house of commons vote on whether the uk should join the european economic community only 39 of the then 330 conservative mps were opposed 260 261 the conservative party has members with varying opinions of the eu with pro european conservatives joining the affiliate conservative group for europe while some eurosceptics left the party to join the united kingdom independence party whilst the vast majority of conservatives in recent decades have been eurosceptics views among this group regarding the uk s relationship with the eu have been polarised between moderate soft eurosceptics who support continued british membership but oppose further harmonisation of regulations affecting business and accept participation in a multi speed europe and a more radical economically libertarian faction who oppose policy initiatives from brussels support the rolling back of integration measures from the maastricht treaty onwards and have become increasingly supportive of a complete withdrawal 260 official support for rejoining the european union remains low within the conservative party though polling shows a minority of around 28 of conservative voters are open to returning 262 domestic policy constitutional policy traditionally the conservative party has supported the uncodified constitution of the united kingdom and its traditional westminster system of politics the party opposed many of tony blair s reforms such as the removal of the hereditary peers 263 the incorporation of the european convention on human rights into british law and the 2009 creation of the supreme court of the united kingdom a function formerly carried out by the house of lords there was also a split on whether to introduce a british bill of rights that would replace the human rights act 1998 david cameron expressed support but party grandee ken clarke described it as xenophobic and legal nonsense 264 in 2019 the conservatives manifesto committed to a broad constitutional review in a line which read after brexit we also need to look at the broader aspects of our constitution the relationship between the government parliament and the courts 265 justice crime and security policy in 2010 the conservatives campaigned to cut the perceived bureaucracy of the modern police force and pledged greater legal protection to people convicted of defending themselves against intruders the party has also campaigned for the creation of a uk bill of rights to replace the human rights act 1998 but this was vetoed by their coalition partners the liberal democrats 266 the conservatives 2017 manifesto pledged to create a national infrastructure police force subsuming the existing british transport police civil nuclear constabulary and ministry of defence police to improve the protection of critical infrastructure such

level qualification aimed at improving the teaching and administration of technical education 273 organisation party structure the national conservative convention is held during the conservative
