• To what extent do you agree or disagree that we should stop all immigration from the EU?
• To what extent do you agree or disagree that the UK Government should control low-skilled immigration through an annual cap while allowing skilled migrants to come to the UK as before?

• Would you prefer the number of highly skilled workers from outside the EU coming to live in Britain to increase, decrease, or remain about the same?

• To what extent do you agree or disagree that ‘immigration brings pressures as well as gains and our decision to leave the EU gives us a chance to change the system. What we need now is a sensible policy to manage immigration so we control who comes here but still keep the immigration that’s good for our economy and society, and maintains our tradition of offering sanctuary to refugees who need our protection’?
