PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Immigration Controls (29 June 2020)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the potential effect of the proposed new points-based immigration system on the level of non-EU immigration in each of the next five years compared to the level in 2019.

Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

The Impact Assessment for the Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill included an assessment of the potential number of skilled workers that may be eligible under the new points-based immigration system. This included two illustrative scenarios for a potential increase in non-EU nationals eligible under a lower skill and salary threshold over the next five years. Estimates were provided for all skilled workers and not split by new entrant and experienced workers.
