🚨 Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has directed the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to review the IT and engineering sectors regarding their reliance on international recruitment.
📋 Key Points:

• The MAC will examine shortages, wage conditions, and the effectiveness of current immigration policies.
⏳ Findings are expected in nine months and could lead to stricter conditions for overseas workers.
