	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The UK’s immigration system enables individuals to enter UK for work purposes from all parts of the world where they have a suitable job offer and meet our criteria. This is helping fill skills gaps, boosting our economy and through specific visa offers, such as the Health and Care visa, supporting our public services.</p><p>There is no compelling argument that Scotland should have a different immigration system to the rest of the UK. Indeed it’s economy benefits from the simplicity and clarity of having one single system for our country. Scotland’s economically active rate is closely aligned with UK average. Minor variations are accounted for in the Scotland specific Shortage Occupation List.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/03/2023 16:15:11 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
