I'm still not convinced by the argument that links investment in skills to migration.
Does there need to be this link for it to be a good idea to encourage business to invest in skills, training and pay and conditions as opposed to ship in agency workers from abroad?
Essentially what starmer is saying is "sure, lets continue to use international nurses but lets also start reducing our dependency on them by making it cheaper and better rewarded to become a nurse and so we can help a few of those 1.5m people get back to work".

Thanks for the link. Perhaps I am going too far to say that there is no economic evidence, then.
I'm still not convinced by the argument that links investment in skills to migration. It also abdicates the State's responsibility to drive productivity growth from the supply-side.
