Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the extension of the Offshore wind workers Immigration Rules concession.

The Government regularly reviews all Immigration Rules concessions to evaluate whether they are still needed for the good of the United Kingdom, its businesses and its people.

Prior to its extension on 1 November, it was agreed that it was in the UK’s best interests to extend the Offshore wind workers concession.
