SCOTLAND'S curry restaurant workers are heading for London again in their fight against new immigration laws.
A coach organised by the Bangladesh Catering Association for Scotland (BCAS) will travel from Edinburgh to join a protest in Trafalgar Square on Sunday.

The protestors say the Government's new points-based policy on immigration has hit skilled restaurant workers from the sub-continent.

Shahnoor Chowdhury, chairman of BCAS, said: "I am very positive and hopeful that we will be given a concession."

Do you feel concerned by the staff shortages in the city’s Indian restaurants?
No, I don’t really like Indian food
Yes, I think it will mean a fall in quality
They’re businessmen, they’ll find a way around it.
