"Charles Clarke has revealed the government's immigration plans with a pledge to introduce a points system for those seeking to live and work in the UK.
Under the proposal anyone seeking to move to the UK will have to prove that they can contribute to the country.
In a Commons statement on Monday the home secretary said that the new system will take into account factors such as age, education, language skills and employment history."
