The Impact of Immigration Policy on Higher Education in Scotland

As an amendment to motion S4M-10147 in the name of Humza Yousaf (The Impact of Immigration Policy on Higher Education in Scotland), leave out from second "that Scotland" to end and insert "in a modern, welcoming and inclusive Scotland where the diversity of its many cultures is celebrated; recognises the success of Labour’s Fresh Talent initiative, which encouraged foreign nationals to work, study and thereafter stay in Scotland; believes that independence would threaten higher education in Scotland through its impact on research council funding and the ability to promote Scotland’s universities on a global stage through the UK’s network of embassies and consulates, and also believes that there would be significant legal and financial consequences of the Scottish Government’s intention to discriminate against students from the rest of the UK in the event of independence."
