Managed Migration

Can the Minister tell the House where he is now in the review of the food processing quota? The review, as I understand it, is due to be completed by June 2006. Given that the Government have said that on the whole they want to bring to an end low-skilled migration schemes from outside European economic area countries, does he accept that although that might be a good policy—Community preference as a matter of principle—he needs to allow for the possibility that there will not be a sufficient labour supply from the new accession states, and that in those circumstances the gap can properly be filled from other countries?
