Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Written Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules made on 3 September 2026 (HCWS311) (a) what data she holds and (b) what assessment she has made of the sectors other than the adult social care sector in which workers on skilled worker visas are being exploited.

We do not hold this data in full, and it could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

However, we share data with Competent Bodies and have a consistent flow of information, continuingly assessing sectoral behaviour and trends of exploitation across the entire labour market. Whilst there are other sectors where conclusive grounds are determined following referral to the National Mechanism, for Skilled Worker these are disproportionately linked to the care sector.
