Asked by: Mark Logan (Conservative - Bolton North East)
Question to the Home Office:
What progress her Department has made on introducing a points-based immigration system.
Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary
The Government has set out our plans for a new points-based system to control immigration, that will deliver for the UK for years to come.
We have been clear that there will be no extension to the Transition period with the EU, and the introduction of the Immigration (and Social Security Co-ordination) Bill was a key part of delivering on that commitment.
From 1 January, our new system will provide simple, effective and flexible arrangements and lay the foundations for a firmer, fairer, skills-led immigration system
It will support our economic recovery by prioritising and investing in people in the UK while continuing to attract the talent and expertise we need from abroad.
