According to the British "HK1 Financial Times " report on September 25, British Prime Minister Tras is planning to re-examine the visa system and relax immigration policies to attract foreign populations in order to solve the problem of domestic labor resources shortage in the UK and provide impetus for economic growth.

It is worth mentioning that controlling borders and reducing foreign immigration is considered one of the main driving forces for Brexit .
Professor Patrick Sturgis of the London School of Economics believes that the current move of Tesla to relax immigration is equivalent to disguised recognition of the negative impact of Brexit on the economy.
"Guardian " revealed that Tras intends to increase the upper limit of seasonal agricultural migrant workers and revise the industry's staff shortage list so that some key industries can recruit more migrant workers.

Last month, 2 million job openings were released in the UK. Includes 105,000 positions in the social care department, 40,000 nurses and 100,000 truck drivers. The agriculture sector calls for an additional 30,000 visas for seasonal workers.
A source from the Prime Minister's Office said the review may not necessarily lead to a net increase in the number of immigrants.
"We need to take steps so that we can build the right capabilities needed to stimulate economic growth, including rural economies. This will involve a growing population in some areas, but a few others may decrease... We also want to see people return to work."
When asked about the possible relaxation of immigration regulations, British Chancellor Quatten told BBC on the 25th that the UK needs to control immigration in a way that is beneficial to its country.
As for whether more industries will be added to the entry list, he said the government will provide the latest news in the coming weeks. Let's wait and see!
