The Shortage Occupation List is set on advice from the independent Migra-tion Advisory Committee (MAC).

This review will enable the MAC to look at which posts are in national shortage and should be given priority within the Tier 2 cap in future.

On Friday 15 June, the Government announced changes to the allocation of places within the Tier 2 (General) cap of 20,700. The change \u2013 which will be implemented through amended Immigration Rules coming into effect on 6 July \u2013 will ensure that all doctors and all nurses needed in the UK will be able to be recruited to work here without being counted against the cap. This is intended to be a temporary change which recognises the importance of alleviating pressure on the NHS and which creates extra space within the cap for other sectors of the economy, including highly skilled veterinarians.
In parallel, we have asked the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to review the full composition of the Shortage Occupation List.<\/p>"}

The Government has proposed that those EU citizens who are resident in the UK before the specified date but do not have five years\u2019 continuous residence will be able to obtain temporary status to remain resident in the UK until they have accumulated five years, after which they will be eligible to apply for settled status.<\/p>

On 26 June we published the White Paper \u2018Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU\u2019, setting out how we will protect the rights of EU nationals currently living in the UK. This is a fair and serious offer which sets out our proposals for the negotiations with the European Union.<\/p>
No EU citizen lawfully residing in the UK will be asked to leave when the UK leaves the EU. The Government has proposed that EU citizens who were resident in the UK before the specified date, and who have five years\u2019 continuous residence, will be able to apply for UK settled status. Other EU citizens who have arrived before the specified date will be able to make an application to stay until they have built up the necessary five continuous years\u2019 residence to be able to apply for UK settled status. The UK remains determined to swiftly reach an agreement that provides reassurance for both EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Prime Minister has also proposed that there should be an Implementation Period post-exit, while we and the EU put in place the necessary preparations for the future arrangements, and to ensure that people and businesses only have to plan for one set of changes. During this time, EU citizens will continue to be able to come and live and work in the UK.<\/p>
The Government is considering a range of options for the immigration system for EU citizens after the UK leaves the EU. We will take decisions on the long-term arrangements based on evidence. Hence, on 27 July, we commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to advise on current patterns of EU migration across all sectors, and the role of migration in the wider economy and society.<\/p>
We will be setting out further proposals for our future immigration arrangements shortly.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4009", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Great Yarmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Brandon Lewis"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-29T16:56:54.897Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Migrant Workers: Veterinary Medicine"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if the Government will take steps to ensure that non-UK citizen veterinarians working in the UK\u2019s agri-food sector will be allowed to remain and work in the UK after the UK has left the EU.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1491", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kerry McCarthy"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kerry McCarthy"} ], "uin" : "115507"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 7, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
