Purpose of the consultation
Evidence
gathering:
The
External Affairs and Additional
Legislation Committee has agreed to undertake a consultation into changes to
freedom of movement after Brexit – the implications for Wales.
With
a view to informing the Welsh and UK Government’s thinking in this area, the
Committee is seeking the views of stakeholders of the policy implications of
the proposals for Wales.
Specifically,
the Committee is seeking views from stakeholders on the following questions:
- What is your assessment of the
implications for Wales of the UK Government’s White Paper proposals on
immigration after Brexit?
- Is there a case for allowing the
devolved nations to do things differently in relation to immigration
policy after Brexit?
- What are your views on the proposal for
a Wales-specific Shortage Occupation List (“SOL”) ?
- What are your views on the proposal to
bring EU nationals into an expanded Tier 2 , and ending any distinction
between EU and non-EU workers?
- What are your views on the salary
threshold of £30,000 for Tier 2 immigration and its implications for
Wales?
- How well is the EU Settlement Scheme
operating? Is there more that the Welsh Government could be doing to
ensure that EU nationals resident in Wales are registering under the
scheme?
- Are there any other issues relating to
immigration policy after Brexit that you would like to bring to the
attention of the Committee?
The
deadline for submitting evidence is 10 September 2019.
