Youth Mobility Scheme: EU Countries

Asked by Dr Al PinkertonLiberal DemocratDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 21 January 2026UIN 105991

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the role a youth mobility scheme could play in supporting UK–EU trade in services.

Answered by Chris Bryant

We have not made such a precise assessment but since we are still working towards concluding negotiations on the Youth Experience Scheme by the next EU-UK summit, I cannot provide a running commentary on ongoing negotiations. We will update the House in the usual way as soon as possible.
