<p>There are a range of options for the future immigration system and it is important
that we understand the impacts on the different sectors of the economy and the labour
market. We will ensure that decisions on the long-term system are based on evidence.</p><p><br>On
27 July, the Government commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee
to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider
economy. The MAC will advise on the economic and social impacts of the UK’s exit from
the EU and also on how the UK’s immigration system should be aligned with a modern
industrial strategy. It will report in September 2018 and its findings will help shape
the government’s decisions on the future immigration system.</p><p><br>The Government
also regularly engages with sectoral bodies to ensure our immigration routes work
effectively to enable businesses to access the talent they need. Their contributions
do, and will continue to, inform our decisions on any changes to the system.</p>
