Higher pay requirements and stricter dependant policies to be reviewed by Council of Ministers
Treasury says it’s working on a number of changes to immigration routes to tackle ‘risks’ the system is currently facing.
The reforms include further increases in the minimum salary requirements, and greater restrictions on eligibility for those who wish to bring independents.
The Council of Ministers is expected to review the proposals early in the new year, and subsequently brought to Tynwald for approval.
In the House of Keys, Minister Alex Allinson batted away comments about there being a lack of jobs for young people:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
