BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Paul Collier on Immigration Controls

Stephanie Flanders talks to Paul Collier, Kwasi Kwarteng, Nick Young and Lindsey Hilsum.

Cultural discussion with Stephanie Flanders, who talks to economist Paul Collier, MP Kwasi Kwarteng, British Red Cross chief executive Sir Nick Young and journalist Lindsey Hilsum.

On Start the Week Stephanie Flanders asks the head of the British Red Cross, Sir Nick Young, whether the charity's principle of neutrality is still as relevant today as it was 150 years ago. The journalist Lindsey Hilsum has reported on the major international conflicts and atrocities in the last few decades and wrestles with the moral complexities of being neutral and impartial. Making judgements about who deserves to be helped and how many, concerns the economist Paul Collier, as he attempts to defuse the explosive subject of immigration. And the Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng proposes selling working visas to the highest bidder.
Producer: Katy Hickman.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
