UK Failing Scottish Population Needs
The motion
That the Parliament notes the Expert Advisory Group’s report on migration and population, which looked at the impact of Brexit and resulting UK immigration policy on Scotland; understands that, even with the reduction of the earnings threshold that is required to be met for a visa, from £30,000 to £25,600, female migrants would have access to only 37% of available jobs; believes that 53% of all employees in Scotland earn less than £25,000, with the figure for care workers up to 90%; regards the UK’s immigration rules as being wholly unsuitable to meet Scotland’s economic and population needs, and believes that immigration rules must be devolved to Scotland.
