A report by the UK Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) approves the Points Based System.  The Committee however, have also announced some suggestions for improvements to protect UK workers.

Professor David Metcalf, Chair of the Migration Advisory Committee,  stated:

‘We believe that selective immigration that favours skilled workers, as the PBS does, is vital to ensure that the UK continues to be a good place to do business or invest. However, it is important that British workers are not displaced. We have therefore made a number of recommendations which will help to avoid undercutting and any disincentives to raise the skills of UK workers’. 

The recommendations  include making sure that jobs are advertised in the UK for a longer period and to strengthen intra-company transfers.
