New rules are expected to make it tougher for British companies wanting to bring in foreign professionals from outside the EU, including countries like India.
LONDON: The UK today unveiled plans to further its crackdown on immigration through “work and study routes” from non-EU nations, in a move expected to make it difficult for British firms to hire professionals from countries like India.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd told the annual Conservative Party conference in Birmingham she will be looking at a range of options to cut migration.
“Leaving the EU is just one part of the strategy. We have to look at all sources of immigrat if we mean business… We will be looking across work and study routes. This will include examining whether we should tighten the test companies have to take before recruiting from abroad,” Rudd said as she announced a new consultation on tightening immigration.
