Experts meet to assess the United Kingdom’s migration needs

A new panel of independent experts met for the first time today to discuss where the United Kingdom labour market needs migration and where it does not.

Membership of the panel of experts in labour market economics were confirmed today ahead of the meeting, a few days after the Home Secretary signalled the United Kingdom was less than one hundred days away from the introduction of the points system.

The committee will analyse the United Kingdom labour market and will report to Government in June 2008 with advice on which specific occupations have shortages which can sensibly be filled by enabling employers to recruit migrants. It will work alongside the Migration Impacts Forum, who are tasked with assessing the wider impacts of migration on local communities.

The two committees are designed to help the Government strike a ’new balance’ in setting the number of points a migrant needs to come to the United Kingdom. The points system signifies a totally new level of control over United Kingdom migration. The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) will advise on where migration is needed and, crucially, where it is not.

MAC chair Professor David Metcalf said:

"My committee has a challenging and important work plan ahead of us and I am delighted to have such a distinguished panel of experts to tackle it. We intend to get to work straight away to ensure that the new points system is rooted in the strongest possible foundations."
