In Britain, the London High Court has struck down a temporary cap on the number of skilled workers from India and other countries outside the European Union which was introduced in June. Home Secretary, Theresa May, had introduced the cap as an interim measure before a permanent cap to be in place from April 2011. The legal challenge to the cap was brought by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants and English Community Care Association, and was upheld by judges yesterday.The ruling has nullified the current temporary cap, meaning it is no longer in force. The cap was one of the first measures of the coalition government that promised to bring down immigrations from hundreds of thousands every year to 'tens of thousands.
