Visas: Skilled Workers

Asked by David SimmondsConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 16 June 2026UIN 7807

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will list each of the organisations that have been added to the Home Office's skilled worker register of sponsors since July 2024.

Answered by Mike Tapp

We do not publish the date when a sponsor is granted their licence.

However, the sponsorship transparency data, which can be found at: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK, provides data on the number of new sponsor applications made in each route and the number of sponsoring organisations registered to sponsor an overseas national in skilled worker and temporary worker routes. This demonstrates the rate at which the register has grown since 2024.

The published register displays which businesses currently have a valid sponsor licence: Register of licensed sponsors: workers - GOV.UK.
