 The committee previously published a report on EU migration and citizens rights that found that without EU migration our agriculture and tourism sectors would suffer and also we wouldn't have enough working age population to contribute to taxation. We therefore commissioned Dr. Eif Hepburn to look at whether we could have a bespoke immigration solution for Scotland address these problems which our previous report had recommended. Dr. Hepburn did extensive research and she found that it was perfectly possible to have a bespoke immigration system for Scotland and such things existed in other sub regions and sub nations across the world such as in Canada and in the cantons of Switzerland. Dr. Hepburn concluded that there were specific devices that you could employ such as seasonal work permits, post-study work visas and a devolution of the administration of migration policy to Scotland which would mean we could have our own policies but still be within the UK.
