Immigration: Public Consultation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how private, public and voluntary sector employers in each constituent part of the UK will be consulted as part of the programme of engagement with sectors as pledged in the December 2018 white paper entitled The UK's Future Skills-Based Immigration System.

Answer

The Government is committed to ensuring that a wide range of stakeholders across the UK, particularly businesses, have an opportunity to contribute their views on the future immigration system for EU and non-EU citizens alike. We are engaging in all regions and nations of the UK through regional and sector focussed events.

We are establishing advisory groups that will have detailed discussions with private, public and voluntary sector employers and industry representatives as the policy and system is developed. Engagement will include roundtable discussions with private, public and voluntary sector employers and industry representatives.
