MP Calls for Review of New Immigration System

UK MP Keith Vaz has announced that the country’s new immigration system will be reviewed by the Home Affairs Committee, to ensure that it is working effectively.

Mr Vaz spoke of his concerns that the system has been introduced too quickly and that smaller companies interested in employing skilled migrants from outside the EU were unprepared to fulfill their legal commitments. Any business intending to employ from outside the EU has to be licensed to do so, Mr Vaz argues that not enough publicity has been made for them to understand this requirement.

Earlier this year the UK government conducted a complete overhaul of the immigration system, basing the new programme on the Australian Tiered system. It is intended to be more user friendly and is targeted towards easing entry for migrants whose skills are deemed to be in demand.
