LabelEnglish take Scot jobs/contribute? Q381
Question text Still looking at CARD D6 (Some people think that English people who come to live in Scotland take jobs, housing and health care from other people in Scotland, these people would put themselves in box 1. Other people feel that English people in Scotland contribute a lot in terms of hard work and much needed skills and would put themselves in box 7. Other people have views somewhere in between in boxes 2 to 6.) Please can you tell me which number comes closest to your own views about whether English people who come to live in Scotland take jobs, housing and health care or whether they contribute a lot in terms of hard work and much needed skills?
