The new youth mobility route adds to post-Brexit points-based immigration system announced earlier, which Patel said was already of benefit to Indians.
The Migration and Mobility Partnership (MMP) MoU signed at the recent Modi-Johnson summit is unprecedented and unique allowing 3,000 18 to 30 year olds to apply for a 24-month stay in either country and has put mobility at the heart of the relationship, UK Home Secretary (Home Minister) Priti Patel has told ET.

The findings of the court were sent to the U.K. Home Department as per which it cleared the extradition.
“The Secretary of State for the U.K.’s Home Department, Priti Patel, has cleared Mr. Nirav Modi’s extradition,” said a CBI official on Friday. The accused now has the legal recourse of approaching the U.K. High Court within 14 days to seek permission for moving an appeal against the Secretary of State’s decision in the High Court.
“Unless there is an appeal, a requested person must be extradited within 28 days of the Secretary of State’s decision to order extradition (subject to any appeal),” according to the U.K. government’s website.
