Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 March 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Immigration (Work Permits).


Immigration (Work Permits)

I warmly welcome the move to a points-based migration system. Paragraph 111 states that the UK skills advisory body will publish"““a Scotland-wide Shortage Occupation List.””" Given the recognition of specific problems in Scotland and the comments published by CBI Scotland, would it not make more sense for the Scottish shortage occupation list to be developed fully by the Scottish Parliament? Will the Home Secretary consider that during the passage of any legislation?
