Visas: Seasonal Workers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to reintroduce the scheme for temporary visas to poultry workers in 2022.

Answer

The Government does not currently plan reintroduce the scheme for temporary visas to poultry workers in 2022. We will however monitor the position closely.

Our points-based system allows for many roles in poultry production to be recruited via the Skilled Worker route, such as poultry processors, bird dressers, pluckers, trussers and butchers for all meats.
