The UK’s future skilled based Immigration White Paper which was published in December sets out current Government proposals for the UK’s future and border and immigration system. Consultation remains ongoing and if you have a view you are encouraged to share it as part of this consultation
Leaving the EU will end free movement and the new single immigration system, which has been designed based on skills and talent proposes to include:
• a skilled workers route open to all nationalities • lowering of the skills threshold on the skilled workers route to include medium-skilled workers • no cap on numbers on the skilled workers route, meaning that business will be able to hire any suitable qualified migrant • the abolition of the resident labour market test • a new time limited route for temporary short-term workers of all skill levels, including seasonal low-skilled workers • an extension to the post-study period for international students
The White Paper itself is a meaty 121 pages however an Executive Summary is also available on GOV.UK.

Does the BBC pay women and men equally for equal work? 15 March 2019
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has launched a formal investigation into suspected past pay discrimination against women at the BBC.
Following complaints that female employees were not being paid the same as men for equal work, the BBC has voluntarily provided the EHRC with a large amount of information about its pay policies and practices.
After looking at all of the information, EHRC has said it suspects that some women at the organisation have not received equal pay for equal work.
