Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish membership of the Labour Market Evidence Group ahead of its establishment.
The Labour Market Evidence (LME) Group will be comprised of:
• The Industrial Strategy Advisory Council, who are encouraged to focus on domestic recruitment and training;
• The Department for Work and Pensions, tasked with reducing economic inactivity and increasing workforce participation;
• Skills England and equivalent organisations in the Devolved Governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which will target training needs; and
• The Migration Advisory Committee which will guide immigration policy.
The LME Group will be set up in due course.
