The Welsh Government needs to fully analyse the impact of the recent changes to the immigration system, to better understand how those changes, including an increased salary threshold for the skilled worker visa, could impact the Welsh economy.

My officials have been in discussions with counterparts in the UK Government to ensure all the impact assessments relating to the recent announcements will be shared with us to demonstrate how the UK Government has considered the impact of those proposed changes on the devolved nations. 

Once we receive those impact assessments, officials will work closely with stakeholders to better understand the impact for the Welsh economy.

The Welsh Government will continue to urge the UK Government to better engage with the devolved governments ahead of the new immigration rules being announced, to help Welsh providers and businesses who rely on migrant workers to prepare and adapt to the changes.
