Immigration
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the differences between England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland in immigration and visa issue policies; and on what powers they are based.
- Answer
-
There is a minor difference in immigration and visa issues policies between England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland in the shortage occupations list for applicants to the tier 2 points-based system. Apart from this there is no difference as immigration is a reserved matter for Westminster through the settlement that created the devolved Administrations.
