Managed Migration

I assure the Minister that it was not Scottish people in the hotel on the evening that has been mentioned. The Minister spoke about all the different immigration schemes working together, which most of us welcome as a sensible step forward. However, where does that leave the Scottish Executive’s fresh talent initiative? Will it remain as a stand-alone recruitment scheme? It was the only thing that Scotland had to give us some sort of competitive advantage to attract skilled migrants. Am I right to assume that it will be merged into tier 1A? If not, how does the Minister expect the initiative to stand alone, and to allow Scotland, which has chronic population problems, to compete for the skilled migrants?
