The U.K. should limit the number of work permits issued to European Union nationals to 30,000 a year after it withdraws from the bloc, the immigration campaign group Migration Watch said.
Only highly skilled workers should be allowed to move to Britain, with new restrictions on the less skilled allowing Britain to reduce net migration from the 27 other EU members by about 100,000 a year, the group said on Wednesday in an e-mailed report. There should be no curbs on students, pensioners, business visitors or tourists, it said.
