Full question wording

Here is another scale from 0 to 10.

Some people say that the government should set a maximum number of migrants who can come to live and work in Britain in any one year, and not allow in anyone else however strong their case. They would put themselves at 0 on this scale.

Other people say that the government should judge every application to come to live and work in Britain on its merits, and not take any account of how many migrants have already entered the country. They would put themselves at 10 on this scale.

Please pick the number between 0 and 10 that best reflects your view on this subject.
