Skilled migrant jobs to be cut by a third
30 April 2009

David Metcalf, Professor of Industrial Relations at the London School of Economics and chairman of the Migration Advisory Committee, said that a planned partial review of the shortage list had been more extensive "because we had to respond to the troubled times and economic turmoil in the labour market".
