The concession was granted on 21 April 2017 and has been in force from that date. The Home Office does not have information on the total number of non-EEA workers admitted to work in territorial waters under these arrangements, or how many employers have made use of them. The Home Office already publishes information on the arrangements that are available for obtaining permission to work under the Immigration Rules.
