Managed Migration

If anything, that is a trick question, and I will resist the temptation of venturing an answer. Scottish parliamentary elections will take place next year, and I am sure that the right hon. Gentleman will wait with great anticipation to see what the fiscal policy of the Scottish National party will be. To conclude, Scotland’s immigration requirements are so far out of kilter with those of the rest of the Untied Kingdom that we must have specifically Scottish solutions to deal with them. We have introduced the idea of a green card system, similar to the Irish model, and we need to adopt such imaginative creative approaches. If we do not, we will continue to see economic decline and deterioration in the quality of life in Scotland. I again urge the Minister to consider the Australian model, how it has devolved power to state level and whether it is suitable and appropriate for Scotland. Surely we need our hands on the tiller so that we can use such powers to make a real difference to what is described as the biggest challenge facing Scotland in the medium to long term.
