Responding to the HOME SECRETARY JAMES °ä³¢·¡³Õ·¡¸é³¢³Û’S ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE THRESHOLD ON IMMIGRATION SALARIES, MARK HILTON, POLICY DELIVERY DIRECTOR AT 91¶¶Òù, said:
‘‘At a time when businesses in London and across the country are struggling with acute skills shortages, raising the salary threshold at which workers can be recruited from abroad would make it much harder for firms to access the talent they need to drive growth.
“The Government should put the economics before the politics by working with businesses on building an immigration system which is flexible, fair and responsive, while also implementing long-term measures that help to boost the domestic pipeline of talent like reforming the apprenticeship levy.’â€
