Those relate to visas. The Tory wanted regular reviews of quotas of the various types but not sure if it went into law.. Numbers have come out concerning education. A 16% drop. This said to be down to needing to show funds for family support.Let's not forget that the new immigration laws didn't come in to force until 2023.
Universities. Average foreign students levels - 25% but some a lot higher. A foreign student pays £20k so the income from that is a significant proportion of their total. In some cases 40% or higher. Ours pay something like 5 to 6k. Can't remember the figure mentioned in the report. There has been talk of some shutting departments and loosing staff.
What to do? Labour's problem now but as no strong arguments about the approach when this was debated they don't disagree in a general sense.
Health worker visas. New threshold £23,200 salary but can be 70 to 90% of this. No info on why. These need to be met when a visa is renewed. Maybe most significant in the carer area. No mention of how families fit in. One carer who has been here for some time pointed out that she does not earn enough to support a family - would need the usual support etc. No answer from Sunak. Doctors - maybe retrained to some degree and may finish up working in private health - hire a doc style. Reports indicate how overworked these can be.
Effects of this one - pass.
