Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl of Erroll (Crossbench). It was answered on Tuesday, 15 December 2009.


Visas: Non-EU Visitors

Question
Many high-tech companies are probably going to have to relocate their training facilities abroad because they cannot bring people in to train here. This is causing us to slide down the global knowledge economy scale. Does the Minister think this is useful for the UK?
Answer

The Minister does not recognise the situation described by the noble Earl. If he wishes to write to me and give me chapter and verse, I would be more than happy to investigate.
