Migrant Workers: Sponsorship

Asked by Max WilkinsonLiberal DemocratHome OfficeTabled Answered 5 February 2026UIN 110126

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, is he will publish the list of companies who have had (a) their license to sponsor skilled and temporary workers revoked and b) their license since reinstated in each of the last five years.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The register of licensed sponsors can be found on the Home Office website at: Register of licensed sponsors: workers - GOV.UK

This is a live document that shows which sponsors are currently fully active and the absence of a sponsor from the list signals that they are either suspended or revoked.

There are currently no plans to publish named lists of revoked or reinstated sponsors, although we do publish data on action taken against sponsors which can be found at: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK
