LONDON—The U.K. government will curb the number of low-skilled migrants allowed into the country as part of a broad overhaul of its immigration policy following Brexit.
After its departure from the European Union, the U.K. is ending the free movement of migrants from the 27-member bloc. In its place a new points-based system—much like the ones used in Australia and Canada—will be implemented from the start of next year, screening foreign workers on criteria including fluency in English and salary.
“We’re ending free movement, taking back control of our borders and delivering on the people’s priorities,” said Home Secretary Priti Patel. The government said overall migration numbers would fall once the system is in place.
Countries around the world are searching for ways to temper the flow of lower-skilled migrants and instead attract young, highly educated workers to their shores. President Trump is among several world leaders who have praised the points-based model in the past as a good way to sift migrants.
