Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 28 June 2017 (HL Deb, col 429), when the Migration Advisory Committee will report on the long-term needs of those parts of the agriculture sector that rely on seasonal agricultural workers.
On 27 July 2017, the Government commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy. It has been asked to report by September 2018 and I understand that the MAC hope to publish an interim report in the near future.
