I got the below response from UKBA when I asked the question on switching from Tier 2 ICT to Tier 2 General -->
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Please be advised you can switch into Tier 2 (General) from Tier 2 (Intra Company Transfer) in the UK.
Please see the link below for more information.

Note that my question to ukba was as below
"Hi,
I would like to know if someone is in UK on Tier 2 ( Intra company transfer)
before April 6, 2011 then can he switch to Tier 2 (general) post April 6, 2011
if there is a valid sponsor identified and the person meets all the job
requirements.
Can you please clarify this as it is not clear.
