UK Government’s new 21 Immigration plans for controlling immigration | UK Visa & Immigration Updates
UK Visa & Immigration Updates : Learn about the UK Government’s 21 innovative immigration strategies designed to manage immigration effectively. See how Labour is working for the common good. UK Government’s new 21 Immigration plans for controlling immigration.
1. Strengthening the British Workforce
By improving training for British workers, Labour hopes to lessen the demand for foreign labour. The goal of this project is to lessen the present 3 million-strong reliance on foreign labour.
2. Absence of a Migration Goal
Labour argues that it is foolish to establish a migration objective because the Conservatives have in the past failed to reduce net migration to less than 100,000.
3. Redesigning Apprenticeships
One of the plans is to reallocate apprenticeship money to high-migration industries. Currently, the aggregate employment of foreign workers in industries including construction and healthcare exceeds 1.2 million.

4. Limiting Visas
Labour is in favour of stricter visa regulations that were put in place by the previous administration, which recently increased the minimum wage requirement for skilled visas by almost 50%.
5. Plans for Developing Skills
A new law mandates that government agencies develop plans for skill development. The estimated yearly cost of these schemes is £500 million. Will this investment result in a decrease in the reliance on foreign workers?
6. Decreased Dependency on Foreign Labour
Labour seeks to drastically lessen the economy’s reliance on foreign labour, which employs roughly 17% of the UK workforce. Just think of the impact if more talented locals were hired!
7. Focus on the Construction Sector
By improving domestic training, Labour hopes to reduce the dependency on foreign workers in the construction industry. Currently, the construction sector employs more than 200,000 foreign workers.
8. IT Sector Transformation
Similar initiatives to support domestic talent are planned for the IT industry. Given that foreign nationals have roughly 150,000 IT employment, there may be a significant shift in this industry.
9. Reforms in Social Care
The party wants to solve the shortfall of social workers without depending on immigration. At the moment, foreign nationals make up more than 16% of social workers. Can our old age people receive high-quality care thanks to Labour’s reforms?
10. Changes in the Health Sector
To lessen reliance on foreign health workers, Labour intends to upskill British employees. Over 200,000 foreign workers are employed by the NHS.
11. Sector Strategy for Engineering
By emphasising training, the goal is to employ locals for engineering positions. Approximately 58,000 foreign engineers work in the UK at the moment.
12. Higher Salary Thresholds
Labour is in favour of raising the income requirements for skilled work visas, which will have an annual impact of about 50,000 visa applications. Will this action lead to increased pay for British workers?
13. Extending the Ban on Hiring
The party aims to increase the prohibitions on recruiting foreign workers by companies that violate labour rules. Every year, this might have an impact on about 1,000 businesses. Would harsher sanctions guarantee more equitable practices?
14. Independent Advisory Committee
Labour suggests strengthening the independence and competence of the Migration Advisory Committee. Currently, the MAC has an annual impact on about 200,000 work visa decisions. Do you think more objective decisions will result from this?
15. Cooperation in Business
The government and business community are forming a new cooperation to address the skills shortfall. This program may affect more than 500,000 jobs in a variety of industries. Is cooperation able to close the talent gap?
16. Removing the Right to Free Movement
Almost 1.4 million EU citizens now reside in the UK; Labour has no intention of restoring free movement between the EU and the UK.
17. The Skills England Programme
The national skills development initiatives will be supervised by Skills England, a new expert organisation. The yearly budget for this body will be approximately £100 million. Will results from centralising skills training be better?
18. System Based on Points
Labour intends to enhance the current points-based immigration system, which will affect more than 300,000 applications annually.
19. Addressing Unusual Migration
Labour will concentrate on breaking up criminal networks that enable unauthorised border crossings. More than 45,000 individuals entered the Channel illegally in 2023.
20. The EU Returns Agreement
A quid pro quo arrangement on migrants with the EU would be part of the proposed agreement. This might entail the annual repatriation of thousands of migrants.
21. Discontinuing the Rwanda Program
The contentious Rwandan asylum seeker program, which had cost the UK more than £120 million, has been abandoned by Labour.
