Liberal Democrat — Edinburgh West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 February 2026

Debate

Fast-Track Visas: Skilled US Citizens

Contribution

I completely agree. We need a system that allows people to come here—not just from the United States, but more generally. People in the United States have the skills we need in the industries that so much of our economy will be dependent on: artificial intelligence, cancer research, pharmacology, science and the growing space sector. In Edinburgh, we are working hard to create that sort of environment, so I completely agree.
