Visas: Scotland
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Tuesday 30th December 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 4 December 2025 on Question 95783 on Visas: Scotland, whether she has received representations from Anas Sarwar MSP on the potential merits of introducing a Scottish visa since 4 July 2024. Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) We have no plans to devolve immigration policy, introduce a Scottish visa scheme, nor to discuss such ideas further. Previously suggested schemes would restrict movement and rights and create internal UK borders. Adding different rules for different locations would introduce complexity and create frictions where workers move locations. |
