The government set out on Tuesday (18 February) its vision for post-Brexit immigration policy, proposing not to offer so-called low-skilled workers visas under the new system.
Under a new points-based immigration system, the Home Office said employers would be encouraged to move away from “cheap” European labour and instead focus on retaining and developing existing staff.
Under the proposed new rules, EU and non-EU citizens would be treated equally once free movement between the UK and EU ends on 31 December.
