Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Seema Malhotra)

The Government are committed to bringing down legal migration. We will do so by making sure that British workers are upskilled in key sectors, with new requirements for employers to address skills shortages, and by introducing new training and workforce plans so that overseas recruitment does not remain the default for filling skills shortages in the UK.
