Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, further to the answer given to written question UIN 27191 of 9 September 2026 about modern slavery victims on skilled worker visas (a) how many employers' sponsor licences have been revoked on the grounds of exploitation of their workers and (b) how many of these revocations have been the subject of criminal investigation.

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.
