The Government intends to place an immigration cap on non-EEA economic migrants to the UK. This is currently controlled through the points based system (PBS) under which those wishing to work or study in the UK must gain points for certain attributes in order to qualify for entry. The PBS consists of five tiers: Tier 1: Highly-skilled migrants; Tier 2: Skilled workers with a job offer; Tier 3: Low skilled workers (indefinitely suspended); Tier 4: Students; Tier 5: Temporary Workers and Youth Mobility (primarily non-economic routes). This report examines: the impact a cap would have on the ability of UK business and industries to recruit the skills and staff they require; the numbers of skilled and non-skilled migrants likely to be affected by a cap on Tiers 1 and 2; the impact and effectiveness of a 'first come, first served' or a pool system for highly skilled migrants under Tier 1; and of a 'first come, first served', a pool, or an auction, system for skilled migrants under Tier 2; whether and how intra-company transfers should be included in a cap; the implications of merging the Resident Labour Market Test and Shortage Occupation Lists; whether dependents should be included in the cap, and the effect of including them. Overall, the Committee believes a cap would make little difference to immigration unless it was set at virtually zero. There is a risk that a permanent cap could hamper businesses, prevent top-class international professionals from coming to the UK and damage the UK's ability to recruit the most distinguished scientists into universities.

There is tension between the twin goals of ensuring a flow of high quality students into the UK and ensuring and maintaining public confidence in the immigration system. The Home Office, through the UK Border Agency, introduced Tier 4 of the Points Based System for student immigration in March 2009 to control the entry of students from outside the European Economic Area. The Agency, however, implemented the new system before proper controls were in place and removed the controls it relied on under the old system. The controls gap enabled a surge in student visas and, in 2009 an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 additional migrants came to the UK to work rather than study. The Agency has had to spend the subsequent three years amending rules and procedures in an effort to reduce abuse. This constant change has made it very difficult and costly for students and education institutions to keep up to date with the increasingly complex set of rules and guidance that has emerged. The Government expected that clamping down on abuse of student visas would play a part in reducing net migration. However the measurement of net migration is still based on inaccurate International Passenger Survey data. The e-Borders system for counting all migrants in and out of the UK will not be in place fully until 2015 at the earliest. It would also be more informative to also report net migration statistics excluding students, as a number of other comparable countries do

Forensic science has become increasingly important within contemporary criminal justice, from criminal investigation through to courtroom deliberations, and an increasing number of agencies and individuals are having to engage with its contribution to contemporary justice. This Handbook aims to provide an authoritative map of the landscape of forensic science within the criminal justice system of the UK. It sets out the essential features of the subject, covering the disciplinary, technological, organizational and legislative resources that are brought together to make up contemporary forensic science practice. It is the first full-length publication which reviews forensic science in a wider political, economic, social, technological and legal context, identifying emerging themes on the current status and potential future of forensic science as part of the criminal justice system. With contributions from many of the leading authorities in the field it will be essential reading for both students and practitioners.
