looks like there are going to be changes here :Erm:

Three times more migrant workers came to the UK on companies' transfers schemes than on general visas for skilled workers, official figures show.

The intra company transfer route. Reducing this is a good move to protect UK jobs. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The oil industry is bad for this.

I think ICT has been abused for years, people in other countries like the phils, set up a small UK office, then use ICT to get them there.:NoNo:

Yep. The oil industry in the UK has been using ICT for years. It is rife. My previous employer brought people in from everywhere overseas, at will. Needs tightening up.

Quoting Joes quote....


At a time of high unemployment, we owe it to British workers to ensure that our migration system does not perpetuate reliance on migrant labour.


I would like to see that applied to Intra Company Transfers from outside to inside the UK.
