Proceeding contribution from Phyllis Starkey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on Points-Based Immigration System.
Points-Based Immigration System
Does the Minister agree that the key issue in deciding between a points-based system and a cap is that the former can respond to the needs of the British economy in a much more specific way? If we suddenly had a massive shortage of nurses, the points-based system could cope, whereas a cap is just a total number; therefore, it would not be able to respond to the needs of the economy.
