On 30 April 2009, a Conceptual Paper and Call for Evidence was published requesting a response from the Migration Advisory Committee ("MAC") to the following issues:

  • What further changes to Tier 1 of the Points Based System should there be in 2010/11, given the changing economic circumstances?
  • Is there an economic case for restricting Tier 2 to shortage occupations?
  • What is the MAC's assessment of the economic contribution made by the dependants of the Points Based System and their role in the labour market?

A report on the second two queries was published on 19 August 2009 and the recommendations were accepted by the UKBA (Previous Law-Now). These changes are due to be implemented in April 2010 and the changes to the Resident Labour Market Test will be implemented on 14 December 2009 (Previous Law-Now). A further law now will be published next week detailing the timescales for implementation.
