Britain's High Court has nullified the government's decision to introduce a cap on number of skilled workers from India and other non-EU countries. The court said the limit imposed without a parliamentary scrutiny is unlawful. The High Court ruled that the temporary cap on the number of skilled workers was introduced in June unlawfully. Home Secretary Theresa May had introduced the cap as an interim measure before a permanent cap to be in place from April 2011. It was challenged on the ground that ministers had side-stepped parliamentary scrutiny before announcing the temporary cap. The Home Office claimed that the ruling does not imperil its flagship immigration policy but the opposition Labour said the policy is in chaos after the court ruling.
