Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made an impact assessment of the additional costs arising from dependants of those arriving on work visas between 2020 and 2026; and, if so, what that assessment found in respect of (1) costs to local authorities, (2) costs to the NHS, and (3) the increased demand for school places.

The Home Office has published impact assessments covering migration policy, including assessments of the impacts of dependants on the NHS and on different regions of the UK.

The Home Office has not published an assessment of the impact of migrant worker dependants on demand for school places.
