Written question asked by Kenny MacAskill (Alba Party) on Tuesday, 29 November 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 1 December 2022. It was answered by Robert Jenrick (Conservative) on Wednesday, 7 December 2022 on behalf of the Home Office.

Wind Power: Labour Market

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 29 November 2022 to Question 95942 on Wind Power: Migrant Workers, what estimate she has made of the size of the shortfall of resident labour in the latest period for which data is available.

Answer: The Home Office is not responsible for evaluating the labour market and therefore has made no such estimate. The Home Office is clear that all employers should first seek to recruit from the resident labour market before using immigration to provide a work force.
