Youth Mobility Scheme: EU Countries
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the press release entitled PM secures new agreement with EU to benefit British people, published on 19 May 2025, at what level the youth experience scheme will be (a) capped at and (b) time-limited to.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
We have agreed that we will work towards the establishment of a balanced youth experience scheme with the EU. We have agreed that any scheme will be time-limited and capped. We have also been clear that it should be in line with the UK’s existing schemes with countries like Australia and New Zealand. The exact parameters will be subject to negotiation, but any scheme will need to be in the UK’s national interests.
