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
