The UK's immigration policy has been unresponsive to Wales' needs | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
according to a former Shadow Immigration minister. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
The Labour MP for the Rhondda, Chris Bryant, says the UK Government | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
should be awake to pressures in the devolved nations. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
It says it's building an immigration system that works for everyone | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Should Wales be in charge of its own borders? | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Last week a group of MPs suggested immigration should | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
be partially devolved, sparking a lively debate. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Carmarthenshire has attracted thousands of migrant | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
Dozens have been employed by manufacturing firm | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
But the managing director isn't for devolving immigration. | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
The reality of it I think is an extremely complicated issue | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
and I don't think that Welsh government have the resource | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
or the knowledge to even cope with such responsibility. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
The counter argument is that ministers in Cardiff are best placed | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
to understand what kind of immigration Wales needs | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
to boost its economy and improve services. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Recruiting GPs is an issue for communities across Wales, | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
so would devolving some control over immigration make it easier | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
If we had power over that then we could be more | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
responsive and responsiveness is what is required | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
The UK government and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn have said devolving | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
some control over immigration would be too complicated. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Former shadow minister for immigration Chris Bryant is also | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
opposed to the idea but believes the current system must | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
The UK government should be awake to the fact that in different parts | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
of the United Kingdom there are different pressures | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
In particular in relation to the NHS. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
If South Wales feels that it has a shortage of orthopaedic surgeons, | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
then they should be able to say, "Excuse me, Mr government | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
minister or Mrs government minister in Westminster, | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
we need you to allow us to move quickly on this." | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
And I'm absolutely certain that hasn't been the case. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
The UK government says its priority is to build an immigration system | :02:19. | :02:21. | |

It's not so bad when it blows in the middle of a farmer's field | :03:53. | :03:59. | |

of the village, the potential for damage is far more serious here. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
