“So for a four-year contract that employer will need to pay a £4,000 immigration skills charge. That is something that currently applies to non-EU and it has been suggested to us that could be applied to EU.”
But not a word about enforcing anti-exploitation laws, which Corbyn did mention.

It seems like an odd solution to "the problem" doesn't it? The problem I guess being a lack of British workers in skilled jobs.
The logic does sort of make sense if you believe that skilled EU workers undercut UK skilled workers, by c£1,000 p/a.
Does anyone know if there is currently a levy on non-EU workers?
