The Home Office has announced significant changes to the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) as part of its strategy to reduce net migration. From January 2025, Professor Brian Bell will assume the role of full-time Chair, while Dr Madeleine Sumption will become Deputy Chair. The MAC will collaborate with Skills England, the Department for Work and Pensions, and the Industrial Strategy Council to develop evidence-based approaches to reduce international recruitment and prioritise the domestic workforce.
