英國(guó)保守黨議員組成的自由企業(yè)組織近期提出一項(xiàng)“以市場(chǎng)為導(dǎo)向”的移民體系改革提案,建議英國(guó)政府將居住和工作簽證拿出來(lái)拍賣(mài),賣(mài)給競(jìng)價(jià)最高的個(gè)人和企業(yè),這樣才能確保進(jìn)入英國(guó)的都是能為英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)做出貢獻(xiàn)的人,同時(shí)保證英國(guó)的國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。另外,該組織還建議政府鼓勵(lì)銀行和交通運(yùn)營(yíng)商之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng),為新興企業(yè)減免稅收,使英國(guó)成為全世界對(duì)新興企業(yè)最友好的國(guó)家。該提案指出,拍賣(mài)簽證還可以讓政府通過(guò)調(diào)整價(jià)格來(lái)控制入境移民人數(shù)。

Visas to live and work in Britain should be sold to the highest bidder in a dramatic overhaul of the immigration system, Conservative MPs say today.
An auction of visas among wealthy individuals and international companies, would ensure that only people able to contribute to the UK economy, the MPs suggest.
The proposal for a “market-based” immigration system is part of a wide-ranging plan to overhaul economic and industrial policies drawn up by a leading group of backbench Conservatives.
The Free Enterprise Group of MPs says that the Government should do much more to encourage competition among utility companies, banks and transport operators.
Tax breaks and other help from the State should be provided to make it easier for new firms to break into established markets and challenge today’s big companies, the group says.
Public sector bodies should also be given a new obligation to help new companies grow.
"Britain should become the friendliest nation for start-ups in the world. Instead of fearing competition, we should encourage it,” the group said in a report published today.
To ensure that Britain remains internationally competitiveness, immigration rules should be changed, the report suggests.
Selling visas to companies or individuals would be “l(fā)ess bureaucratic than today’s system, allow the Government to control the flow through price changes and ensure that workers only entered the country if they added significant value to the economy.”
George Freeman MP, the report’s author, said that Britain must become more pro-enterprise to survive in the 21st Century.
“We need to do more to unleash an entrepreneurial ethos both in the public and private sector. This requires bold new thinking like a pro-enterprise immigration policy and a new deal for business,” he said.
“This is how we build a global vision for developing a competitive economy and succeeding in the global race.”
