Discussing the thorny issue of immigration

My recent article in South East Business Magazine discusses the thorny topic of immigration and what it means for the business community.

Immigration seems to be a political “hot potato” for any Government but the events of the last few months have made it top of the news agenda.

The UK Government’s position of achieving a net migration figure of 100,000 (which includes foreign students who make a considerable contribution to our balance of payments by the way) has led it into position where it is at odds with much of the business community. In fact the Home Secretary  Theresa May’s speech at the recent Conservative Party Conference was greeted by the IoD Director General Simon Walker as “irresponsible rhetoric” and “nonsense”  http://www.iod.com/influencing/press-office/press-releases/businesses-astonished-by-anti-immigration-rhetoric

All pretty heated stuff!
