The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) did not reconsider the skill level of linesworkers in its February 2013 report. As the report explains, the review of linesworkers was limited to reviewing the inclusion of the job on the Shortage Occupation List, based on the MAC’s "shortage" and "sensible" criteria only. The MAC last considered the skill level, which led to only high voltage linesworkers being included on the Shortage Occupation List, on pages 28-29 of its March 2011 report, which can be read on the gov.uk website at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revised-uk-shortage-occupation-list-for-tier-2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revised-uk-shortage-occupation-list-for-tier-2</a>. The Government expects the MAC to review the skill level of linesworkers on high and low voltage lines as part of its current review.
