The Migration Advisory Committee is expected to report back the findings of its review into the UK Graduate Route by May, the home secretary has announced.
James Cleverly made the announcement in the Daily Mail, where he outlined his wider plans to crack down on immigration, including “a comprehensive and tough package which means around 300,000 people eligible to come to the UK last year would now be unable to do so”.
“But we are going further – today I will ask the expert and independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to review the graduate route for international students,” wrote Cleverly.
“We must prevent abuse of this route, protect the integrity and quality of our higher education, and ensure it works in our best interests.”
