Question to the Home Office:

What recent assessment he has made of the effect on Scotland of required income levels for skilled migrants.

Our future immigration system is designed to drive up wages and productivity across the UK and allow us to bring in the most talented while responding to public concerns about immigration.

We have been very clear that no decision on the levels at which salary thresholds should be set will be taken until we have completed the UK-wide engagement process that is currently underway.
