08: Migration Impact Forum (MIF) and Migration Advisory Committee (MAC)

The Minister also confirmed today that the Home Office will be setting
up the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC). Once up and running it will
advise Ministers on  where migration might sensibly fill gaps in the
labour market.

The consultation responses to the Migration Advisory Committee
consultation, together with the terms of reference for the new body can
be found at:
http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/lawandpolicy/consultationdocuments/closedconsultations

The government is also establishing a new Migration Impacts Forum (MIF),
jointly chaired by Immigration Minister Liam Byrne and Communities
Minister Phil Woolas. It will provide information on the wider impacts
of migration on local communities and how best to ensure public services
can respond and community cohesion retained.

The Migration Impact Forum (MIF) will be jointly chaired by Immigration
Minister Liam Byrne and Phil Woolas from the Department of Communities
and Local Government (DCLG).  Ministers will announce separately details
on composition and membership of this Forum

The MIF will provide stakeholder input to Government about the wider
impacts of migration. It will look for information from forum members
about the social benefits of migration and any transitional impacts, for
example on local education or health services, which derive from
migration.
