Out today: MPS Annual Survey of Scottish attitudes to immigration. A Scottish public take a pragmatic view of migration. Follow this thread for more analysis migrationpolicyscotland.org.uk/publications/h… Diffley Partnership 1/11

3/11 There is strong support to maintain, and more to increase, all of the largest visa routes for migrants those on specified humanitarian visas as well as visas for migrant workers. 76% support increasing or maintaining the level of student migration.

The MAC review of the Graduate visa is expected out today. MPS' attitudes survey found 60% of Scots support a 2 year post study visa (18% oppose) and 76% want the numbers of students arriving to increase or remain the same (37% preferring an increase). See thread for more:
