Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of the Seasonal Worker Scheme visas made available in 2022 have been taken up; and what proportion of those dedicated to poultry workers have been taken up.

The Home Office publishes data on visas in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release (opens in a new tab)’. Data on the number of ‘Seasonal Worker’ visas granted are published in table Vis_D02 of the Entry clearance visas applications and outcomes (opens in a new tab) dataset.

Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to the year ending September 2022.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar (opens in a new tab)’.
