In their report, the Committee’s sets out a proposal for an immigration system for the science and innovation sector, and skilled workers more generally. The Committee developed the proposals following Government inaction on the issue and the urgency of the situation facing the UK’s science and innovation sector.
A summary of the report can be found here.
Norman Lamb MP, Chair of the Science and Technology Committee, said: “Collaboration is crucial to the UK maintaining its position as a science superpower, and it is essential that the UK has an immigration system that facilitates the mobility of the science and innovation community. Delay in confirming how the system will work following Brexit is deeply damaging. Industry and research communities urgently need certainty.”

“If the UK wishes to remain open and attractive to the brightest and best global talent following Brexit, it requires an immigration system that allows researchers, technicians, students and innovative entrepreneurs to arrive and work in the UK without facing a burdensome and daunting process.
“Nobody wants to see damage to our economy as a result of restricting the ability of skilled workers to come to this country. This is essential for our future prosperity.”
ACCESS TO SKILLED AND THE RIGHT TALENT IS ESSENTIAL AT ANY POINT, MORE SO AFTER BREXIT. SHOULD YOU HAVE QUERIES REGARDING TIER 2 GENERAL VISA SPONSORSHIP AND IT CONSULTANTS WORKING ON A PROJECT BASIS DO CONTACT consult@mavisas.co.uk
