British jobs for British workers - how might new Tory plan affect workers in Northern Ireland?
British jobs for British workers'. That was a key theme at this week's Conservative Party Conference. Home Secretary Amber Rudd vowed the government would force businesses to reveal how many foreign staff they employ to make them take on more British workers.
And now the Home Office has said a consultation over the plans to monitor how many foreign workers are employed by individual firms will cover Northern Ireland - as immigration is not a devolved matter.
So what will that mean for foreigners living and working in Northern Ireland and how will it affect local businesses.
‘We’re not going to get involved in public displays of disputes’ – John O’Dowd on new SinnDUP Executive
