Points-based system and salary thresholds for immigration: letter from the MAC

On 24 June 2019, the then Home Secretary commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee(MAC) to carry out a fully comprehensive review of the future system of salary thresholds for the proposed skilled worker route.

On 3 September 2019, the Home Secretary officially commissioned the MAC to research and provide evidence-based recommendations on how a points-based system could work in the UK, in addition to the salary threshold commission.

Professor Manning writes to the Home Secretary to introduce the committee’s report.
