Scotland needs foreign workers

Scottish Chambers of Commerce chief executive Liz Cameron highlighted the need for 11,000 new vacancies each year in Scotland's digital and IT sector. She warned that they could not be filled entirely by British workers.

Cameron called for a migration system that responded to Scotland's lower population growth rate. She said Scotland's projected population growth to 2024 was only 3.1%, compared with a projected 7.5% increase for England over the same period.
