'Let's have quotas for low-skilled work'

The official Vote Leave campaign argued for an Australian-style points-based immigration system, but that was ruled out by Theresa May. Others have suggested a new regime of work permits.

Sunder Katwala, director of the think tank British Future, has produced his own plan, which could include continuing freedom of movement for some categories of worker.

In a personal film for the Daily Politics soapbox series, he said: "People don't want fewer engineers or scientists to come. We also need some low-skilled migration too, to pick fruit and work in care homes, but the public do want to control the scale and the pace of change."
