  1. 43{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62} of nurses and 31{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62} of doctors entering the NHS were trained outside the UK – Dept of Health. Hospitals would close without them.
  2. The British Hospitality Association has warned that it will have serious problems if it’s unable to employ workers from abroad.
  3. Migrants CONTRIBUTE £2.5 BILLION more in taxes and National Insurance than they consume in benefits and public services – Home Office.
  4. The construction industry has warned of a 350,000 shortfall in workers. Migrant workers are needed to keep pace with the demand for housing.
