Migrant Workers: Care Workers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of exempting the adult social care sector from proposed increases in the certificate of sponsorship fee.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
Fees for immigration and nationality applications are kept under review.
However, there are no current plans to exempt the adult social care sector from the certificate of sponsorship fee increase.
A provisional estimate of the impact of increasing sponsorship fees is a less than 0.2% increase in the cost of hiring an average skilled worker.
