UK top scientist immigration policy under fire.

http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2013/02/immigration-top-scientists-visas

The government’s flagship policy to attract top scientists has so far failed to deliver results and proposals to place further restrictions on skilled migrants have come under fire from scientists and migration experts alike. There is also growing concern that the coalition’s focus on reducing migration risks harming the country’s economic recovery.
