The Government has commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy, ahead of our exit from the EU – and to review how the UK’s immigration system should be aligned with a modern industrial strategy. The Government will carefully consider any recommendations made to it by the MAC before finalising the details of the future immigration system.
