https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-childcare-costs<\/a>. This report was described as \u201cthorough and wide ranging\u201d by the National Audit Office. This review looked at both current and future cost pressures.<\/p> <\/p>
We continue to monitor the early years childcare market closely through a range of regular and one-off research projects which provide insight into various aspects of the market.<\/p>
<\/p>
Decisions on funding policy and future spending will be a matter for the upcoming Spending Review.<\/p>

Maintained nursery schools (MNS) make a valuable contribution to improving the lives of some of our most disadvantaged children. We are providing local authorities with around £60 million a year of supplementary funding, to enable them to maintain the funding that was provided to MNS in 2016/17. The funding of individual MNS is a matter for local authorities. No estimate has been made of the number of MNS that rely on the supplementary funding they receive in order to stay open.<\/p>
<\/p>
In February, we announced that we would provide local authorities with further funding of around £24 million to enable them to maintain the funding of MNS for the whole of the 2019/20. This provides MNS with further stability, and what happens after 2019/20 will be determined by the next Spending Review.<\/p>

In December 2018, the Government set out its proposals in \u201cthe UK\u2019s future Skills-based Immigration System\u201d White Paper. The White Paper proposals include a new route for skilled workers which will be open to anyone at RQF level 3 and above, irrespective of where they are applying from. The White Paper is clear that those applying in this route will be subject to an assessment of their language skills in order to support integration.<\/p>
The Shortage Occupation List (SOL), is based on expert advice from the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) and identifies those occupations deemed to be in national shortage. It does not include a separate language assessment. The MAC published their most recent review of the full SOL on the 29 May. The Government is grateful to the MAC for a comprehensive report, the content of which we are now considering.<\/p>"}

The Government published its White Paper \u201cThe UK\u2019s future skills-based immigration system\u201d on 19 December 2018, which proposed a new route for short-term workers to come to the UK for up to 12 months. This will be subject to a full review by 2025.<\/p>
In the interim, we have launched a year-long programme of engagement to enable businesses and other stakeholders to shape the final details of policy and processes contained within the White Paper.<\/p>
