Managed Migration

The Minister is being generous in giving way. He should not be embarrassed about, and I would not criticise him for, what I might call the statistical inexactitude of Home Office labour market predictions. There is nothing to be embarrassed about there at all. All it proves is that Governments on the whole cannot predict these things. In that context, does the Minister agree that it is therefore incredibly important to look to the skills advisory body for detailed, independent and authoritative advice, and to publish the reports of that body so that we can see the basis on which policy is made?
