Cleverly's Plan to Curb Legal Migration: Tougher Rules and High Minimum Salary

UK Home Secretary James Cleverly is set to announce a package of measures aimed at reducing net migration after figures reached a record high. The minimum salary requirement for skilled workers from overseas is expected to be increased to around £38,000, lower than the £40,000 reportedly agreed upon by Chancellor Rishi Sunak and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman. The package may also include a reduction in the number of dependents allowed for social care workers. The government aims to strike a balance between addressing abuse in the system and ensuring key roles can still be filled.
