Migration targets should be scrapped after UK and replaced by a system that allowed in migrants who made a positive economic contribution, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has said. It also said schools and hospitals should receive extra funding if immigration raises demand. The CBI said it would be unworkable to move EU nationals into the non-EU immigration system, particularly for small firms. It said migration policy should focus on who could benefit the Brexit. The Home Office said it wanted to bring migration down and had no plans to scrap targets although none had yet been met.
