Care Workers: Migrant Workers

Asked by Fabian HamiltonLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 3 March 2025UIN 31772

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of the Government taking over sponsorship of migrant care staff from employers.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

It is a fundamental principle of sponsorship that those who benefit most directly from employing migrant workers play their part in ensuring the immigration system is not abused, and the Government therefore has no plans to take over sponsorship of migrant care staff from employers.
