Migrant Workers: Slaughterhouses
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many skilled butchers have (a) been granted a temporary visa and (b) arrived in the UK under the extension to the seasonal workers scheme announced on 14 October 2021.
- Answer
-
We are working to implement the decision taken on 14th October to make available temporary visas for pork butchers.
This requires changes to the Immigration Rules and operational processes across both the Home Office and Defra. Further details will be provided in due course.
Butchers can also be recruited under the Skilled Worker Route.
