Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the affordability of short-stay visa and work permits for UK citizens who perform temporary seasonal tourism work in the EU.

The Home Office is responsible for setting the immigration policy for those who wish to travel for work purposes to the UK and not those who seek to travel for work purposes to other countries. Hence we do not assess the immigration policies relating to seasonal work set by foreign Governments.
