Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support his Department provides to former Carillion staff who have been asked to reapply for Tier 2 sponsorship since that company went into liquidation.

We are aware of an individual case where a former member of Carillion staff has made an enquiry about obtaining new leave to remain on the basis of having obtained employment with a new employer. We have offered a dedicated point of contact in UKVI for the individual or employer to refer to if they need any advice or assistance in submitting a new application
