We have a Scotland-specific Shortage Occupation List to accommodate skills shortages which are specific to Scotland. Applying substantially different immigration rules to different parts of the UK would complicate the immigration system, harming its integrity, and cause confusion for applicants and difficulties for employers who need the flexibility to deploy their staff to other parts of the UK.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 07/09/2016 15:04:52 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
