The coalition government have finally rolled out details of the Conservative cap on immigration with a temporary limit to be put in place from July 16th. From mid-July, the number of skilled migrant workers coming into the U.K. will be cut by 5% and the permanent cap will come into effect in April 2011. The cap has caused controversy with many in the business sector fiercely opposed to what they say will be a cap on the country’s economic competitiveness. The First Pint found out more.
