Call for evidence outcome

SOL Commission 2019: regional roundtable events

Updated 12 August 2019

Introduction

In June 2018 the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) were commissioned by the Home Office to produce a fully comprehensive review of the shortage occupation list (SOL). To gather sufficient evidence, the MAC issued a ‘call for evidence’, whereby stakeholders were encouraged to submit evidence via an online form in relation to any job titles or occupations in their associated sector/industry which they believe to be in shortage. The ‘call for evidence’ closed on the 14 January 2019.

Regional Roundtable Meetings

Following the closure of the ‘call for evidence’ the MAC, in conjunction with the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC), are arranging a number of regional roundtable meetings across the UK.

The purpose of these meetings is to:

  • engage with employers across the regions and countries of the UK to hear their concerns and issues with regards to shortages
  • identify if there are any synergies or differences in the evidence submitted
  • gather a more in depth understanding which complements the online evidence
