Immigration cap a bad idea, PM says
Monday 23rd November 2009
Capping the number of UK immigrants would be a mistake, the prime minister has claimed.
Commenting on the issue during a Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference, Gordon brown said that more than three million British jobs depend on Europe.
His comments, which may be welcomed by people seeking operational theatre practitioner roles in the country, were made after the Conservatives called for stronger limits on immigration.
Mr Brown remarked: "We as a country need to bring in highly skilled people and you as businesses will retain the ability to recruit highly skilled people when you need them."
According to the prime minister, it is crucial for the UK to be at the "heart" of the continent, as opposed to on the periphery.
An annual event, the conference was staged by the CBI - which describes itself as the "premier lobbying organisation" for businesses in the UK on both national and international issues.
