Boris slams Govt on immigration
Boris Johnson has hit out at the Government’s restrictions on immigration, saying it is “utterly crazy” that international students are being put off coming to the UK.
In a speech to the CBI annual conference, the Mayor of London warned that Britain was at risk of “slamming the door” on foreign workers.
“Let’s tackle youth unemployment by investing in education, by encouraging a culture of competition and excellence in our schools, by getting people in apprenticeships, and not by slamming the door on all non-UK nationals.
“My message is that on tax, on regulation, and on visas, we need to be careful to remove the barriers to growth.”
