type 2 diabetes at the age of 30 could see their life expectancy fall by as much as 14 years, according to a study published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The analysis of data from 19 high-income countries found that even people who do develop the condition at the age of 50 could see their life expectancy fall by up to six years.

The MAC conducted a review of the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) and expressed concerns that making it easier to recruit low-wage workers could increase the risk of exploitation. Currently, employers can hire migrant workers at 80% of the standard «going rate» for specific occupations listed on the SOL. This includes roles like bricklayers and care workers. Being on the SOL allows employers to bypass the general minimum salary threshold for a skilled worker visa, which is £26,200. Consequently, sectors with wages below this threshold have particularly benefited from inclusion on the list. The MAC's recommendation stems from concerns that low-wage migrants may result in a net fiscal cost for the UK, and the administrative burden of the scheme can be uneconomical for many businesses. The committee believes that abolishing the SOL would be a preferable approach to addressing labor shortages in low-wage sectors. The MAC suggested that no employer should be allowed to pay below the going rate, as this would help protect resident workers from wage undercutting and reduce the potential exploitation of migrant workers. The Home Office has not provided an immediate response to the report.
