本文的主要目的是考虑保守党自由民主党联盟所谓的“移民上限”将如何影响苏格兰。移民上限是一套尚未具体说明的政策（主要通过基于积分的移民系统），旨在主要通过减少移民来降低英国的净移民。虽然英国政府希望减少净移民到英国，但苏格兰政府希望保持苏格兰历史上较高的净移民水平，部分原因是为了实现其人口增长目标，并确保劳动力增长。这两级政府正在推行明显冲突的政策，因为减少英国的净移民也可能减少苏格兰的净移民。
The main purpose of this paper is to consider how the Conservative Liberal-Democrats Coalition’s so-called "immigration cap" will impact on Scotland. The immigration cap is a set of not yet specified policies (working mainly through the points-based immigration system) aimed at lowering net-migration to the UK primarily by lowering immigration. While the UK Government wants to reduce net-migration to the UK, the Scottish Government wants to maintain a historically high level of net-migration in Scotland in part to achieve its population growth target and to ensure labour force growth. The two levels of government are pursuing policies that clearly conflict, since lowering net-migration to the UK will also likely lower net-migration to Scotland.
