Migrant Workers: Sponsorship
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the guidance entitled Register of licensed sponsors: workers, published on 26 September 2025, how many and what proportion of organisations on the register have received an in-person inspection by her Department since 4 July 2025.
Answered by Mike Tapp
Routine reviews of the register of licensed sponsors are undertaken to check that sponsors are still classified as active.
It is normal practice to contact a sponsor if we have any concerns over any individuals they have sponsored or are seeking to sponsor however, we do not hold any published data on this.
Essential updates and reminders are sent periodically to those licensed sponsors currently on the register.
We do not hold any data on licensed sponsors in receipt of public funding.
We do not routinely publish data on in-person inspections.
