The Minister responsible for Immigration, Jason Hayward, has been reported making positive comments about progress on new PRC pathways. He says there were no fundamental objections, and feedback has been positive. There will be some tweaks and additional considerations but that the scheme as a whole is still being pursued.
There was no indication on timing given, but this is an signal that Government is still focussed on the proposals, which could potentially be introduced extremely quickly if there is the will to do so.
