Migrant Workers: Service Industries
Tuesday 3rd March 2020

Asked by: Roger Gale (Conservative - Herne Bay and Sandwich)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate he has made of the number of (a) EU and (b) overseas nationals employed in low-skilled jobs in the (i) catering and (ii) hospitality industries.

Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

In August 2019, research released by the Office for National Statistics estimated that 501,000 non-British nationals work in tourism in the UK. Of these, just under two thirds were EU nationals, just over a third non-EU nationals.
