Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of a net reduction in low-skilled immigration on the viability of industries reliant on low-skilled labour.
We commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee to make an economic assessment of the UK’s future immigration needs. We have always been clear that the future immigration system will be based on evidence and we will publish a White Paper setting out plans for the future immigration system later this year.
