Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to introduce a new seasonal agricultural workers scheme.

For the time being, the United Kingdom remains a part of the European Union and the latest labour market statistics continue to show an increased number of EU citizens entering into the UK labour force. However, the Government has committed to keeping the position under review and we will continue to engage with the agricultural sector. Future decisions about the degree of labour market access that will be made available to EU citizens after the UK leaves the European Union have yet to be determined.
