UK Home Secretary commissions Migration Advisory Committee review of IT and engineering occupational groups
On 6 August 2024, the Home Secretary wrote to the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), requesting that it look at key occupations, namely the Information Technology and Telecommunications sector and the Engineering sector, to try and understand the reasons behind the UK's reliance on international recruitment. The UK government remains committed to bringing down high levels of migration to the UK. In its commission, the Home Secretary requested the MAC to consider several questions and produce an evidence-led report by or before May 2025. The MAC has accepted the commission, for which it will be provided with additional staff to aide with the delivery of the report. The MAC will work alongside several bodies to provide a more structured and evidence-based approach to the labor market, as requested by the Home Secretary.
