Proceeding contribution from Bridget Phillipson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on UK Software Industry.
UK Software Industry
The Minister may be aware that the Select Committee on Home Affairs, of which I am a member, gave careful consideration to the immigration cap. Some of the concerns that were raised, particularly from ICT companies, were about how it would work and whether it would be a deterrent for business investment, particularly in relation to highly skilled jobs such as those in scientific industries. I know that the Minister is making a party political point, but there are serious issues for the Government to consider about the working of the cap and the impact that it may have on the UK software industry.
