Non-EU immigration cap plan set out

A cap on non-EU immigration will be introduced from next month as the coalition seeks to avoid a last-ditch influx to Britain, it has been revealed.

Just 24,100 workers from outside Europe will be allowed into the country before April, with highly-skilled migrants having to meet tighter conditions.

Home Secretary Theresa May will announce the move on Monday, as she launches the consultation process for deciding the level of the permanent cap.
