answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>The annual limit, together with other reforms the Government has made since 2010, is helping to deliver an immigration system which works in the national interest: welcoming migrant workers who will contribute to economic growth, while reducing numbers to a more sustainable level and eliminating abuse.<br><br>The limit was last formally reviewed in 2012 by the Migration Advisory Committee, who recommended no change to its level. The Government has <br>committed to maintaining the limit at 20,700 places per year for at least the remainder of this parliament, to provide businesses with a period of policy stability.<br><br>The limit is working effectively and we continue to monitor its operation. Non-EU net migration was 218,000 in September 2010. We have cut it to 162,000 – down 56,000 under this Government. At the same time, the limit has not prevented businesses recruiting people with the skills they need.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 20/10/2014 14:20:01 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

uin	HL951
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2014 answer text <p>This report shows why we need an immigration system that is fair to British citizens and legitimate migrants and tough on those who abuse the system and flout the law. We are working across government to ensure the immigration system works in the national interest and will use the findings of this report, including those in respect of labour market regulation, to inform our approach. The Government has already taken action to increase the maximum penalty for National Minimum Wage underpayment from £5,000 to £20,000 per employer, and will now introduce primary legislation so that the penalty can be applied on a per worker basis, substantially increasing the penalty employers have to pay. The Government will also consult on banning ‘overseas only’ recruitment practices by employment agencies to ensure that UK natives have the opportunity to apply for all jobs based here.</p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 23/07/2014 13:09:00 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
