Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent discussions his Department has had with faith leaders regarding the Tier 5 religious worker visa.
The Government wrote to faith leaders in December, setting out the detail of the changes made to the Tier 5 religious worker visa.
We are embarking on an extensive programme of engagement, in connection with the future immigration system, and will be talking to representatives from a range of faith and community groups. Officials also remain in regular contact with their representatives.
