Wind Power: Migrant Workers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 2 December 2022 to Question 98935 on Wind Power: Migrant Workers, which states that employers should first seek to recruit from the resident labour market, whether her Department (a) carries out checks on employers and (b) seeks assurances from employers that UK labour will be used before seeking to fill posts through immigration under the concession.

Answer

The Government regularly reviews all concessions to the Immigration Rules against the general principles of the immigration system to check whether they are necessary and regularly undertakes engagement with a wide range of stakeholders. This will continue to be the case in future.

The Home Office is not responsible for evaluating the labour market or governing how private companies recruit their workers.
