Brown to tighten immigration rules
Updated on 12 November 2009
Hospital consultants from outside Europe will no longer be able to take up jobs in the UK under a tightening of immigration rules being announced by Gordon Brown to cut numbers of migrant workers.
In a high-profile intervention in the immigration debate, the Prime Minister will accept that immigration is an issue "at the heart of our politics" which must not be regarded as a taboo or surrendered to fringe parties.
He will acknowledge voters' concerns over the impact of migrants on wages, jobs and housing and will say it is wrong to brand those worried about immigration as "racists".
