Immigration: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the suitability of foreign nationals being employed as immigration caseworkers in her department.
Answered by Mike Tapp
The Civil Service Nationality Rules (CSNR), available on Gov.uk, govern eligibility for employment in the Civil Service on the grounds of nationality and must be followed by government departments. The CSNR allow for certain posts to be reserved for UK nationals only, which is considered where it is deemed necessary and in accordance with the published criteria. These rules have been in place since 2014.
