Theresa May announced a cap to immigration outside the EU, which will reduce the numbers of highly skilled migrants workers "Numbers will go down to 24,100 between now and April 2011, 5% less than last year."-BBC. The cap was put in place to prevent a 'rush of applicants' before a permanent limit is placed in.
Business groups are worried by the cap because the cap will affect their recruitment of specialist skilled workers from overseas. "There is also anxiety at the imposition of another tier of regulation and claims it runs counter to the coalition's desire to promote Britain as "Open for Business"-BBC.
