Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 March 2017. It occurred during Debate on Scotland: Demography and Devolution.


Scotland: Demography and Devolution

That is exactly what we found in the course of our inquiry. One of the report’s recommendations was that the Government reconsider their approach and attitude to the post-study work scheme offer. That would address the issues that my hon. Friend raises, but to me the problem is much more fundamental. It is beyond absurd that we attract all those talented young people to Scotland with the quality of our world-class universities and train and educate them to a high standard simply to watch them sail away, when we need those people to help grow and contribute to our community.
