Cable hits out at migrants cap
THE Government's cap on immigration has been "very damaging" to British industry by stopping companies hiring key staff, Business Secretary Vince Cable said yesterday.
The Department for Business has examples of companies which have reduced investment or relocated operations overseas because the cap prevents them accessing key staff, said Mr Cable, who called for more "flexibility" on allowing skilled workers into the UK.
The Business Secretary has made little secret of his opposition to the cap, which was a key plank of the Conservative manifesto.
