UK GOVERMENT AGREES ON SKILLED MIGRATION CAP

Sunnyisland

The uk government has announced a cap of 21,700 on the number of skilled workers from outside the European Economic Area allowed into the UK.
The figure is a cut of 6,300 on the equivalent figure for 2009.
It excludes employees transferred by companies from abroad - in future they will be allowed to stay for up to five years if their salary exceeds £40,000.
Home Secretary Theresa May said immigration would become "sustainable", but Labour called the plans "a con".



Should a future Irish goverment do the same or apply even more restrictions on non eu people coming here,

I don't think Ireland's gonna have to worry about immigration for a long while.

Bracing themselves for the influx of Irish graduates/professionals fleeing this doomed barque, no doubt.

Right so their reducing the total cap from 50,000 (2009) to 43,000? Hardly much different? I mean I've heard to critics saying that it wasn't going to make much different because most of the non-eu immigrants are students, marriages etc amounting up to 300,000 which they haven't even started yet and will find it incredibly hard to tackle.

The tories will find it harder than they think to reduce migration down from what Labour had IMO, and this even what some of the hard right were saying from the tories, particularly since they can't even control EU immigration. I mean that figure of 43,000 was a comprimise and was expected to be much lower.
