As set out in the Home Office Five Year Strategy for Asylum and Immigration, the Government encourages migration for work through a flexible system that is principally employer-led and responsive to market needs. In a flexible and dynamic labour market such as that of the UK, it is considered to be impractical and counter-productive to try and set limits in a rigid and arbitrary way. Such limits could prevent the UK bringing in the skilled workers we need.Detailed work is being progressed on the development of the proposals for a new points based migration system contained in the consultation document: Selective Admission: Making migration work for Britain. The Government intends to publish a formal response to the consultation next year.
