Written Question
Immigration
Monday 23rd January 2017

Asked by: Neil Gray (Scottish National Party - Airdrie and Shotts)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of applying different immigration rules to Scotland and other constituent parts of the UK.

Answered by Robert Goodwill

Immigration remains a reserved matter and we will consider the needs of the UK as a whole.

Applying different immigration rules to different parts of the UK would complicate the immigration system, harming its integrity, and cause difficulties for employers who need the flexibility to deploy their staff to other parts of the UK.
