Home Minister Patel will announce the new policy on Friday. There is a possibility of cabinet expansion on Thursday. According to a government source, Prime Minister Johnson wants to create an environment in which the professionals of the world find Britain open and attractive. This will help strengthen the UK economy. It is also being said that we must now discourage the policy of giving visas to low paid workers. This will have long term benefits for the UK. In this regard, a migrant policy based on point-wise information like Australia will be successful. It is believed that Britain will implement this policy from January 1, 2021.
