Scottish minister: 'Too few' migrants coming

Scottish National Party minister Mairi McAllan has publicly stated that 'too few' migrants are coming to Scotland. She argued that migration is 'good and necessary' for the Scottish economy and that difficulties surrounding the issue have been exploited by other political parties. The comments highlight a significant policy divergence between the devolved Scottish government and the UK government in London on immigration. This stance aligns with the SNP's long-standing calls for greater immigration powers to be devolved to Scotland to address demographic and economic challenges.
