The UK’s plans for a points-based system to regulate immigration have not properly considered a potential pool of 600 million people who could qualify to work in Britain under the new rules.
Research released by the think tank MigrationWatch UK suggested that the government has not attempted to calculate the number of eligible workers outside the European Union, a total it said amounted to “at least 590 million people”.
Taking back control of Britain’s immigration policy was one of the central themes of the Leave campaign during the country’s 2016 referendum on membership of the EU.
A points-based system ending freedom of movement within the EU will take effect next January.
Under the plans, factors such as a person’s English language ability, job offers and relevant skills will be taken into consideration for visa approval.
The Home Office’s new plans are meant to act as a remedy to the Britain’s experience of extending unrestricted access to its labour markets to Eastern European EU countries from 2004.
About 700,000 people arrived from these countries over six years, under the rules laid out by former prime minister Tony Blair’s government.
However, MigrationWatch has said that Britain could be opening its doors to a similar influx of workers under the new scheme.
The think tank said the proposed system will weaken current qualifying rules for citizens of around 80 per cent of countries.
Its analysis has found that, with a salary floor set at around £25,000, more than seven million UK jobs would be subject to new or increased global recruitment.
In a statement to parliament this month, Home Secretary Priti Patel said the new points-based system would offer the best of both worlds, with employers investing in the UK workforce while at the same time also gaining greater access to global talent.
"At a time where an increased number of people across the UK are looking for work, the new points-based system will encourage employers to invest in the domestic UK workforce, rather than simply relying on labour from abroad,” Ms Patel said
"But we are also making necessary changes, so it is simpler for employers to attract the best and brightest from around the world to come to the UK to complement the skills we already have," she said.
The migration group has painted a darker picture. “This scheme was drawn up long before the Covid crisis. Now, with unemployment heading for several million, we cannot simply blunder on with unlimited immigration from all over the world,” Alp Mehmet, the chairman of MigrationWatch UK, said.
“Immigration could easily spin out of control as it did under Labour. The only way to avoid a crisis is to put a cap on the numbers and then adjust as necessary. What is the point of taking back control over immigration only to hand it over to business?” he said.

Day 2, Dubai Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Pakistan’s effort in the field had hints of shambles about it. The wheels were officially off when Wahab Riaz lost his run up and aborted the delivery four times in a row. He re-measured his run, jogged in for two practice goes. Then, when he was finally ready to go, he bailed out again. It was a total cringefest.
Stat of the day – 139.5 Yasir Shah has bowled 139.5 overs in three innings so far in this Test series. Judged by his returns, the workload has not withered him. He has 14 wickets so far, and became history’s first spinner to take five-wickets in an innings in five consecutive Tests. Not bad for someone whose fitness was in question before the series.
The verdict Stranger things have happened, but it is going to take something extraordinary for Pakistan to keep their undefeated record in Test series in the UAE in tact from this position. At least Shan Masood and Sami Aslam have made a positive start to the salvage effort.

Four tips to secure IoT networks
Mohammed Abukhater, vice president at FireEye in the Middle East, said:
- Keep device software up-to-date. Most come with basic operating system, so users should ensure that they always have the latest version
- Besides a strong password, use two-step authentication. There should be a second log-in step like adding a code sent to your mobile number
- Usually smart devices come with many unnecessary features. Users should lock those features that are not required or used frequently
- Always create a different guest network for visitors

Top New Zealand cop on policing the virtual world
New Zealand police began closer scrutiny of social media and online communities after the attacks on two mosques in March, the country's top officer said.
The killing of 51 people in Christchurch and wounding of more than 40 others shocked the world. Brenton Tarrant, a suspected white supremacist, was accused of the killings. His trial is ongoing and he denies the charges.
Mike Bush, commissioner of New Zealand Police, said officers looked closely at how they monitored social media in the wake of the tragedy to see if lessons could be learned.
“We decided that it was fit for purpose but we need to deepen it in terms of community relationships, extending them not only with the traditional community but the virtual one as well," he told The National.
"We want to get ahead of attacks like we suffered in New Zealand so we have to challenge ourselves to be better."
