Scottish Secretary to lobby Patel over £30,000 migrant threshold

New Scottish Secretary Alister Jack has told ITV Border that the planned minimum salary for migrants is too high and he is making the case for it to be reduced to Home Secretary Preti Patel.

He’s also said he recognises potential problems for farmers of a ‘no deal’ Brexit and says Boris Johnson’s government will provide assistance.

The MP for Dumfries and Galloway also told our Political Editor Peter MacMahon of his frustration over plans to redevelop Stranraer harbour.
