Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Ukrainian nationals in the UK on the agricultural Seasonal Workers visa have had their visas extended until the end of 2023.
The Home Office does not routinely publish data on these matters and a manual trawl would be required to determine these figures which would not be feasible.
To date the seasonal work providers have nominated 2914 individuals eligible for the Seasonal Worker Ukrainian Extension Scheme. These workers are also eligible for the more favourable Ukrainian Extensions Scheme which provides for 36 months of leave and does not tie individuals to a specific employer.
