Limit the number of consultants outsourcing companies can bring into UK to 2000

Petition Details

Outsourcing companies such TCS, Cognizant, Wipro and similar companies bring unlimited numbers of overseas consultants into UK through Intra Company Transfer Visa and this undermines the UK workforce and uk people find difficult to find jobs.

Additional Information

This is not a complete ban on bringing overseas workers only a cap on how many can be brought into UK. ICT visa doesn’t require advertising the job locally and most outsourcing companies bring people from offshore as a first step. This needs to be tightened. Unofficial fact is there’s no skills shortage in UK.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly how you would like this cap to work, or what changes you'd like to see to the rules for ICT visas.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
