Members for the Migration Advisory Committee

The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is a non-statutory, non-time limited non-departmental public body established and funded by the Home Office.

The MAC is comprised of a Chair and four other committee members who provide independent and evidence-based advice to the Government on migration issues. The questions the MAC addresses are determined by the Government. It has previously advised on the design of Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the Points Based System for managed migration; the transitional labour market access for citizens of new European Union accession states; the first and second limits on Tier 1 and Tier 2; and the impact of immigration on the labour market and public service. The MAC is regularly asked to update the Tier 2 Shortage Occupation Lists.

Committee Members

The MAC is seeking to appoint two committee members who will bring their weight of experience, professional expertise and credibility to this important role. They will be economists with distinguished records in business or academia.

The role

The two appointed committee members will have the responsibilities of:

• attending and contributing at MAC meetings;
• examining and challenging, if necessary, the assumptions on which advice is formulated;
• ensuring that the MAC has the opportunity to consider: the available evidence on a given issue; contrary views; and, where appropriate the concerns and values of corporate partners before a decision is taken;
• advising on how the MAC’s research budget should be spent;
• acting with a presumption of openness; and
• acting in accordance with the Home Office Framework Document for the MAC.

In addition, as holders of a public office, MAC members are required to follow the Seven Principles of Public Life set out by the Nolan Committee on Public Life.

Remuneration & Time Commitment

This role attracts an allowance of £275 per day for two days a month (24 days a year). The initial appointment will be for a period of 3 years.

The roles will be based in London, however, some travel within the UK may be required.
