Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the IPPR report Measuring the benefits of integration: The value of tackling skills underutilisation, published 18 June 2019, what assessment he has made of the effect on the economy of migrants employed in positions for which they are overqualified.

The Treasury has not conducted analysis on the specific question of overqualification of migrants.

The future immigration system will support the UK economy to access the talent it needs. The Government has initiated an extensive programme of engagement to capture views, and ensure that we design a future system that works for the whole of the UK.
