LONDON, MARCH 17: Britain on Monday said it would create a special immigration category for temporary workers, hours after India voiced concern that the new points-based system might come in the way of it and other developing countries exporting IT systems and personnel to the UK.

The British Home Office sources said it would create a special immigration category for temporary workers, details of which would be released shortly.

The announcement comes after Indian Commerce Minister Kamal Nath warned that the new points-based immigration system might come in the way of India and other developing countries exporting IT systems and personnel to the UK.

“The new regime can make it harder for software and other IT executives to travel back and forth between India and the UK, imperilling their ability to fulfil service contracts,” Nath had told the Financial Times.
