Downing Street has rejected proposals to set up a solid immigration goal because officials weigh the legislation capabilities to reduce the number of people coming to the UK.
Despite Sir Keir Starmer Earlier, saying that he did not want a migration restriction, senior officials were considering the proposal-which promoted some within the Government and scientific thin ones who support the work-weighing limit for internal migration numbers, according to people who know about discussions.
According to an alternative proposal that was green, ministers will force employers to employ for medium -skilled roles such as construction or social welfare to show that they or their sector body have a plan for training and employment of British workers, people said.
This proposal for the “firmly controlled box” for jobs below the graduate level will be a part of the plans that will be published next month, some of which will require legislation, they added.
The reduction of the number of migrants entering Britain shows as crucial work to see a challenge from a party against an immigration reform in some of his northern places in some northern headquarters.
The Nigel Farage Party, who has monitored the work on public opinion polls, wants to freeze all irrelevant migration, while opposition conservatives also said that they would introduce an annual limit to a net migration.
The previous Government of Tory had a legal border for migration, although it was never fulfilled.
“We will learn the lessons from the Tori disaster that have set arbitrarily goals that they have never met,” said a senior official. “We won’t make the same mistake.”
Business groups have warned that migrants’ requirements have high wages or pay large fees have pushed the flow of talent in the UK and influenced the Government growth program.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves signaled last month that she would strive to expand the use of a visa for “most qualified people” in sectors such as AI and Science Life Sciences.
But Starmer also faces the pressure of dozens of work MPs facing a potential challenge of reform and want the Prime Minister to take a stricter attitude about the matter. Meanwhile, working together with a close relationship with the Starmer Administration-said that the UK should set clear objectives for migration according to the interior late last year.
In a letter to the Cabinet ministers last week, Starmer stated that politics “ended too scared to say what is obvious – that some people are true refugees, and some are not; that people who come here may be positive, but that the island state needs control your boundaries. “
Although the early support of the Downing Street clerk is to introduce some kind of goals to use different visual routes, the idea is now excluded, according to more people who have met in that matter.
The proposal for access to visas depending on the training of domestic workers is involved in the Labor Manifesto before the election, and Matica Minister Yvette Cooper has repeatedly said that she will be central in government approach to migration in connection with work.
The government has not yet determined what restrictions on individual employers will be faced if it is seen that they or their sector are not bothering.
The vast majority of visas approved to lower skillful workers of 2022 have been in the social welfare sector for adults, where employers have already set up working force plans, although they have warned that employment problems are unlikely to be resolved without increased government financing.
The Government Counseling Committee on Migration warned last year that increasing skills in domestic workforce will not necessarily lead to a fall in foreign employment. This would be applied if employers use a visual system because they could not pay enough to try in the UK, it was said.
He also marked the risk that people arrive in the UK at a graduate visa that allows them to stay two years after graduating, before they switched to a visa with a little paid after they run out of time.
About five people at graduate visas exceeded visas that allow them to work in the social welfare sector, compared to only 6 percent of domestic graduates entering low paid sectors in the sector sector, he found. Mac added that there was some evidence that people were transferring a visa to get a populated status in the UK.
The government did not immediately respond to the commentary request.
