- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to create new endorsing bodies for the new global talent visa to enable science and technology companies in (a) Cambridge and (b) the UK to access the global talent that they need to innovate and grow.
- Answer
-
On 27 January, the Government announced details of the reformed Global Talent visa, including a new fast-track scheme for top scientists, researchers and mathematicians, which would be managed by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). These changes are part of an initial phase of wider reforms to enable those with world-class specialist skills to come to the UK.
The Government will continue to work closely with the existing Endorsing Bodies, including UKRI, and the wider scientific community. As part of this development we will discuss the inclusion of additional endorsing bodies.
