Damian Green takes questions on immigration
Want to put a question to Damian Green about immigration system reform? Now’s your chance.
Immigration minister, Damian Green, has announced that a limit on the amount of workers coming here from outside the EU comes into force today.
Employers will only be able to bring 20,700 people from outside the EU to work in skilled professions.
A further 1,000 visas will also be made available to people of ‘exceptional talent’.
Meanwhile, restrictions have also been put on the number of foreign students able to study in the UK.
These are big changes, and are part of reforms across the immigration system.
