Revenge for Tier 2's trial balloon leading to Gideon becoming known as Gidiot?
Seems entirely reasonable. For example, the US charge quite a lot for processing of H1B's (esp. rapid processing). Whether it will have much impact on numbers though...
Did not see that coming but I like the look of it if it gets in.
As ever, the devil is in the detail. The report mentions various sums and specifically says that they were not asked to set the level, this is a decision for the treasury.

"While we are not against this use of the route, we are, however, keen to ensure that it is used by those highly specialised migrants that partners in the industry claim to need. We therefore recommend that a new route be created alongside the conventional Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) route, designed specifically for third-party contracting. We recommend an increase in the salary thresholds required for third-party contracting as a way to prioritise applications and prevent any undercutting and displacement within the UK labour market. We recommend that the salary threshold be set at £41,500, which is an effective proxy for senior managers and specialists. The recommendations for the ‘conventional’ use of the route should also apply to third-party contracting."
