The Immigration white paper setting out post-Brexit immigration system has now been published.
It appears as if immigration matters are moving forward with a sense of urgency?
Depner Immigration Consultants will shortly be commenting on some of the pressing concerns expressed by various institutions. Surely some will benefit from the proposed changes?
Home Secretary Sajid Javid said: “Today’s proposals are the biggest change to our immigration system in a generation. We are taking a skills-based approach to ensure we can attract the brightest and best migrants to the UK.”
Parliament reports: “The Home Secretary confirmed free movement would end after the UK leaves the EU and that to implement this the Government would introduce the Immigration and Social Security Coordination EU Withdrawal Bill. He also announced that there will be a single immigration system for all nationalities. He also confirmed that the UK would introduce a skills based system to attract those who can assist the UK economy.”
If you have the stomach for it you can now read the 168-page white paper (see link below).
