<p>The Home Secretary has commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee
(MAC) to carry out a rapid review of the new Immigration Salary List (ISL) in time
for its implementation in the Spring Immigration Rules. The MAC is due to report on
23 February, at which point the Government will consider its recommendations carefully.
We will keep the list under regular review and the MAC will carry out a fuller review
later in the year.</p><p> </p><p>The introduction of the ISL will not undermine our
policy that asylum claims by an individual applying for permission to work must still
be outstanding for 12 months or more and any resulting changes to the policy will
be announced in due course.</p>
