John Swinney: I would work with a Labour government on migration

SNP leader John Swinney has said he would “engage strongly” with a Labour Westminster government on a separate immigration plan for Scotland.

Mr Swinney said he welcomed newspaper reports that Labour might be preparing to work with the SNP on migration

But he added: “Allow me to be a wee bit doubtful. The Labour Party has taken a very, very hostile attitude towards immigration and we’d have to see how that would work out in practice”.

Surveys suggest immigration is less of an issue for Scottish, and concerns have been voiced about a skills and labour shortage in areas like care, agriculture and hospitality.

Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie told the Herald on Sunday, external it might be possible to “incentivise” those who come to the UK to then settle in Scotland.
