The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to review the salary threshold for the visa sponsorship programme.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Home Secretary confirmed on 30 July that the Government will be retaining the increase to the general salary threshold for the Skilled Worker visa route brought in by the previous government.
