Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, (a) what assessment has the Department made of the impact that delays in UK Visas and Immigration processing times are having on the ability of hospitality businesses to recruit seasonal and skilled workers, and (b) what steps she is taking to help reduce these delays to support employers during peak trading periods.

UKVI are not currently experiencing any delays against our published service standards for either Seasonal or Skilled Workers.
