Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 2 June 2026 to Question 3737, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a dedicated visa route for other roles that require Gaelic speakers.

We do not limit access to Gaelic-medium posts or any other roles that require Gaelic speakers, provided they meet the other requirements of the Skilled Worker route.

We have therefore not had discussions relating to having specific routes for Gaelic speakers, nor have we considered Welsh, Cornish, Irish Gaelic or Scots as the basis of language evaluation on the Skilled Worker immigration route.
