英財相 退歐不會妨礙高技能移民自由流動
The British government will allow high-skilled migrants, including those who work in financial services, to move freely into the UK economy following its decision to leave the EU, the chancellor has said.
英國財政大臣菲利普.哈蒙德(Philip Hammond)稱，英國政府將允許包括從事金融服務的人士在內的高技能移民，在英國決定退出歐盟之後自由進入英國經濟。
Repeating his reassurances about protecting bankers and City workers ability to work in the UK after the referendum, Philip Hammond said restricting high-skilled migration was “not where the problem lies”.
在重申退歐公投後對於保護銀行業者和金融城工作人員能夠繼續留英工作的保證時，哈蒙德稱，限制高技能移民“並非問題所在”。
“When the public says they have problem with migration, they are not talking about computer professors, brain surgeons, or senior managers”, Mr Hammond told MPs at the Treasury Select Committee on Wednesday.
哈蒙德週三在英國議會財政部特別委員會(Treasury Select Committee)對議員表示：“當公衆說他們對移民有意見時，他們指的並非計算機教授、腦外科醫生或者高級經理人。”
He said he “cannot conceive” of any new migration controls that would prevent large banks from moving workers around difference parts of their business as this was “essential for the smooth operating of the [UK] economy”.
他表示，“無法設想”阻止大型銀行在不同業務地區間調動員工的任何新移民管控措施，因爲這“對（英國）經濟平穩運行至關重要”。
When quizzed about the farming sector, which uses high levels of unskilled labour from the EU, Mr Hammond said the government would examine an “appropriate way of looking at the needs of the agricultural sector in a migration control regime between the UK and the EU”.
當被問及大量使用來自歐盟的低技能勞動力的農業部門時，哈蒙德表示，政府將“在英國與歐盟間的移民管控機制中探求考慮農業部門需要的適當方式”。
Mr Hammond added the government had a “duty” to the significant number of existing EU nationals resident in the UK and would seek a “fair arrangement” to protect their rights after Britain’s exit.
哈蒙德還表示，英國政府對現居於英國的大量歐盟公民存在“義務”，並將探索一項“合理安排”來保護他們在英國退歐後的權利。
