	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2024 answer text <p>The Home Secretary commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to carry out a rapid review of the new Immigration Salary List (ISL) ahead of the Spring Immigration Rules. Appendix Immigration Salary List can be found in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statement-of-changes-to-the-immigration-rules-hc-590-14-march-2024" target="_blank">Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules: HC 590,</a> published on 14 March 2024. We will keep the list under review and the MAC will carry out a fuller review later in the year.</p><p> </p><p>Replacing the new ISL will maintain the important principles that underpin our approach to permission to work by an individual’s asylum claim still being outstanding for 12 months or more, through no fault of their own. This includes the need to avoid creating perverse incentives for people to make dangerous journeys to the UK and to not undercut the resident labour market.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 26/03/2024 15:29:34 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
