Quote:Any moves by the UK government to limit immigration could "seriously harm" Scotland's economy, a Holyrood minister has warned.

International development minister Alasdair Allan claimed Brexit will cause "immeasurable harm" to Scotland.

He said further damage could be inflicted by limiting the number of people who can come to the UK.

The UK government said the immigration system takes Scotland's needs into account.

The Scottish government has vowed to oppose any changes to the rules which create barriers for businesses by preventing them from taking on the staff they need.

The number of people living in Scotland is projected to grow by 7% between 2014 and 2039, with 90% of the rise in the next decade expected to come from inward migration.

In a letter to the UK Home Affairs Select Committee's inquiry into immigration policy, Mr Allan said a "key priority" in tackling Scotland's ageing population was attracting working-age migrants to the country.

RE: Fucking SNP
Brexit showed that Brits considered themselves distinct from the EU.

Perhaps the Scots are beginning to think different about their needs being met in post-Brexit UK.

Do they have a right to "take back control"? I wonder.

I was born in Scotland, and live here. I consider myself both Scottish and British.

We had a referendum on Independence back in 2014 and the majority voted to stay part of the UK. If another referendum does happen then I will be voting to remain in the Union.

It's that simple but fortunately another referendum is unlikely.
