Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has instructed the Migration Advisory Committee to review the proposed increases in the Minimum Income Requirement for family visas in light of Labour's commitment to reduce net migration.
Cooper emphasized that Labour is dedicated to lowering net migration while ensuring a fair family migration policy, indicating that measures in place will be evaluated to align with these goals.
With net migration peaking at a record 764,000 during the Conservative administration, Cooper's request for a review is part of Labour's broader strategy to reshape immigration policy amid rising public concern.
The previous government's intention to increase the income threshold for family visas was part of a wider effort to cut net migration numbers, which sparked significant political and public debate.
