In response to the request from the Home Secretary the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) will consider how points could be awarded to prospective migrants for things like educational qualifications, language proficiency, work experience and willingness to work in areas or sectors with a shortage of workers.
The MAC has also been commissioned to review the salary thresholds for the future immigration system. The MAC will continue with this work in addition to the PBS and report to the government by January 2020.
