The UK Home
Office has announced the details of the 5 Immigration Advisory Groups. These
have been established to intensify
engagement between the industry and the UK Government. This is even as the
future immigration system based on skills is developed.
The HO has
undertaken a 12-month engagement program. This is for hearing to the views of the communities and gathering
expertise from UK Businesses, as quoted by the Gov UK.
More than 100
events have been conducted since the beginning of the year. The reach has been
1,500 stakeholders almost.
Caroline Nokes the UK Immigration Minister said that she has already met hundreds of businesses and people.
This is to ensure that the future UK
Immigration System functions for each part of the nation, added Nokes.
The UK
Immigration Minister said that the Immigration
Advisory Groups will offer valuable expertise. These will represent the
views of vulnerable people, employers and businesses, said Nokes.
The result of
the Brexit referendum is being delivered by ending free movement of people
said, Caroline Nokes. We are establishing a system for attracting global
talents to the UK. It will not be based on the place of origin of the people,
explained the Minister.
CBI Chief UK Policy Director Matthew Fell said that we are now exiting the EU. It is a high priority for us
to have a right immigration system in place, he added. UK employers have
welcomed the opportunity to offer additional proof to the Home Office. This is
to assist in devising a new immigration system. It will cater to the requirements of the economy and also restore public
confidence, said Fell.
Matthew Fell
said that the sessions have been constructive and frank. We hope that the
offered detailed feedback will reflect in the final details of the new system,
he said.

and Immigration system for the UK will be functional from 2021 in a phased
manner. The proposals include eliminating
