This timely conference will discuss priorities for the UK immigration system, including reforming the migration law and tackling irregular migration.
We expect discussion on the recently published recommendations from the Migration Advisory Committee in its report on a points-based system and salary thresholds for immigration, including that the Government should drop the salary threshold for immigrant workers to £25,600.
With the new government in place and the advent of Brexit, the conference will be an opportunity to discuss a range of key policy developments, including:
- The announcement in the Queen’s Speech of an Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill that looks to end freedom of movement and introduce a points-based immigration system from 2021;
- The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) review into the salary thresholds for the skilled worker migration route post-Brexit; and
- The Law Commission’s proposed reforms to immigration rules, which focuses on simplification.
