consultation on UK visa "cap"

The UK government have launched a consultation on the process of implementing a "cap" or "quota" on non EU immigration through Tier 1 and Tier 2 visas.

This follows on from the imposition of a temporary cap from now until April 2011.

The consultation is being run by the Migration Advisory Committee and continues until September. There are a broad range of proposals on how the government should implement a cap and also what the final quota numbers should be.
