Migration Advisory Committee (MAC)

Migration Advisory Committee is a Advisory NDPB sponsored by Home Office. The MAC’s function is to provide independent and evidence-based advice to the government on matters relating to migration. The MAC will mainly be asked to provide advice on the operation of labour migration and the needs of the labour market but may, from time to time, be asked to advise on other matters relating to migration where the government requires expert advice. The MAC will advise the government on how to control migration and ensure that the immigration system meets the needs of the UK economy and is designed to improve overall UK productivity.

Regional Remit

MAC operates in the UK. Their headquarters are located in London.
