Further cuts could follow as the Government has asked the Migration Advisory Committee (Mac) to "review shortages across the entire labour market with a view to amending the shortage occupation list", which details the posts for which employers can hire from outside the EU.

The moves are part of efforts by the Government to meet its pledge to bring net migration down from around 200,000 to the tens of thousands by 2015.

Immigration Minister Damian Green: "These changes to the shortage occupation list will ensure that only skilled workers are coming to the UK through tier two of the points-based system.

"It will allow firms to bring in people with necessary skills without migrants becoming the first resort to fill a wide range of available jobs.

"This Government is also determined to get people back to work and provide business with the skills they need from the British workforce - reducing the need for migrants at the same time as we reduce their number."

Some good news, European immigrants are much preferable to non-European ones at least but really we need it cutting down.
