Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has had recent discussions with Anas Sarwar MSP the potential merits of introducing a Scottish visa.

We have no plans to devolve immigration policy, introduce a Scottish visa scheme, nor to discuss such ideas further.

Previously suggested schemes would restrict movement and rights and create internal UK borders. Adding different rules for different locations would introduce complexity and create frictions where workers move locations.
