New work permits should only be issued to recognised world experts/authority with current know-how in their respective fields (like PhDs, Professors)

Additional Information

Given the current of 2.62 million unemployed, new work permits should only be issued to recognised world experts with current know-how in their respective fields (like PhDs, professors) in science & engineering. The previous HMG promised ‘British jobs for British people’ yet they issued work permits to foreigners at the ‘drop of a hat’, including to non-professional workers (like nannies, waiters, care workers, etc) employed by private organisations (like nursing homes, nursing agencies, restaurants, hotels). Clearly work permits are open to abuse by economic migrants & their extended family members to immigrate legally & permanently into UK. Many nurses in UK, for example, are finding it hard to get jobs, thanks to the lack of immigration control for foreign nurses (& doctors) over the years. Many foreign nurses in nursing homes are sometimes paid less by their proprietors than for UK nurses, thus eventually lowering wages & job opportunities of UK nurses.
