Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how regularly her Department plans to update the Shortage Occupation List.
This question was answered on 27th April 2023
The Government reviews the Shortage Occupation List more regularly, following recommendations from the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), so that the legal migration system is quicker and more responsive to the needs of businesses and the economy.
The MAC currently has a call for evidence open for its latest review. The Call for Evidence closes on 26th May 2023 and the Government encourages sectors experiencing labour shortages to submit their evidence to the MAC.
