Migrant Workers
- Question
-
What steps the Government is taking to ensure that its policies on immigration enable the hiring of the number of skilled migrants that the UK requires.
- Answer
-
The Government is committed to ensuring our migration system works in the national interest by enabling employers to recruit skilled-migrants from overseas.
In July, we exempted doctors and nurses from the annual cap, which freed up hundreds of places a month for other sectors of the economy.
This has had a positive impact and the cap is no longer oversubscribed.
