We think allowing skilled worker visa holders the same flexibility to work multiple jobs and longer hours as British citizens and settled workers would promote equality and fairness in the workforce.
We think allowing skilled workers to take on more hours would help address acute labor shortages in sectors like healthcare, IT, and logistics
