Mr Goodwill
If the hon. Gentleman were to examine the evidence of the Fresh Talent scheme, which the Scottish Government reviewed in 2008, he would see that only 44% of those applicants remained in Scotland, and more than half of those jobs were not appropriate for the level of education of those who took them.
Mr Julian Brazier (Canterbury) (Con)
Does my hon. Friend agree that there is a good reason why immigration is a reserved power, and that the slippery slope that the Scottish nationalists are trying to take us down would, if taken to its logical conclusion, end up with a border?
Mr Goodwill
I am always very careful not to get on to slippery slopes, as one ends up at the bottom of the hill in a bad place.
