TWITTER users have attacked the Scottish Secretary over comments he made on migrants while giving evidence on Brexit in Holyrood earlier.

Alister Jack had been telling the Culture, Transport, Europe and External Affairs Committee about plans for the UK's relationship with the EU, following negotiations in Brussels this week. 

While discussing plans for a points-based immigration system after the Brexit transition period ends, Jack suggested European migrants have come to the UK "on the basis that they get access to our NHS and our benefits system".
