answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>Immigration is a reserved matter and the Government’s immigration policy applies to the whole of the United Kingdom. We consider the needs of the UK as a whole and are committed to developing an immigration system that serves the national interest.</p><p><br>We have set out our proposals for the future border and immigration system that would operate after 2021, in a White Paper published in December. As set out in the White Paper, we will provide for a single, global immigration system that will be based on skills rather than on where someone comes from – and is designed to attract international talent and work in the best interests of the UK economy as a whole.</p><p><br>Scotland’s particular circumstances and needs for skilled labour continue to be accounted for through the Scotland-specific Shortage Occupation List which allows immigration to address the gaps in Scotland’s labour market. The list broadly reflects the wider UK Shortage Occupation List, suggesting that Scotland’s skills needs are largely aligned with the rest of the UK.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 03/04/2019 16:28:08 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

We are aware of the current campaign by Royal British Legion to waive settlement fees for Commonwealth national personnel, and I have responded to their letter on this issue.</p><p>The Home Office reviews fees on a yearly basis and income from fees charged for immigration and nationality applications plays a vital role in our ability to run a sustainable immigration and nationality system, and minimize the burden on the taxpayer. Application fees in general have increased in recent years to support this aim.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 03/04/2019 16:29:19 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
