This Government has an ongoing programme of work to monitor and evaluate the impact of migration, including the impact of the package of net migration reforms implemented in Spring 2024. Statistics, research and analysis published by the Home Office on migration can be found here: Migration analysis at the Home Office - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). Economic and fiscal forecasts are made by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility.

With a joined-up approach across government to reform the points-based immigration system, we will ensure that migration to address skills shortages triggers a plan to upskill workers and improve working conditions in the UK.
