Immigration: skill shortages inquiry

Inquiry

The Home Affairs Select Committee publishes a report saying the Tier 2 cap is not working as intended and may be counter-productive to both net migration and economic aims.

The inquiry considers:

  • What impact has the cap of 20,700 employer-sponsored skilled migration (Tier 2 general) visas had upon employers?
  • Which sectors have been particularly affected?
  • If a cap on Tier 2 skilled workers remains, what is the best way to meet the needs of the UK economy while maintaining control of the number of skilled workers coming to the UK from outside the EEA?
  • If the cap on Tier 2 did not remain, what would replace it?
