Immigration issue is complex

Sir, – I’m not surprised that attitudes toward immigration in Scotland are broadly the same as in the rest of the UK, but the questions asked were simplistic.

Is immigration good or bad? That’s about as sensible as asking whether food is good or bad.

You need enough of a good variety of nutritional food, spaced sensibly through the day.

The key questions with immigration are how much, how quickly and what mix of people.

The economic benefits of immigration are small, but, if mismanaged, the social costs can be high. Richard Lucas.
