Given the strength of feeling displayed that immigrants were keeping wages low and stealing working class jobs, this policy, together with new training programmes for the indigenous population, is exactly the right thing to do. Our people will be properly trained and the lack of immigrant labour should increase wages.

As long as the good old British have sufficient motivation to get off their backsides and work for their money, and I'm sure they will the policy should work.

The reason wages and salaries are more expensive in London is the shortage of local labour.

How will this address the issue that was so often raised at the referendum that immigrants were stealing lower paid jobs and pushing wage levels down?
