Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the residency status is of the families of overseas healthcare workers who have been working in the NHS on a visa and die as a result of covid-19.

My Rt. Hon Friend, the Home Secretary, confirmed, in a letter to the Home Affairs Select Committee on 29 April, families of eligible frontline healthcare workers who sadly pass away due to contracting the COVID-19 virus, will be granted immediate Indefinite Leave to Remain free of charge.
