Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Edwards and Tom Pursglove

Monday 26th February 2024 Commons Chamber

[Tom Pursglove]

It is right that where people are granted asylum, we support them to be able to move on as quickly as possible. Work is a key part of that. I just wish the hon. Gentleman had the same energy to try to help more of our people domestically to be able to take on these roles, rather than saying that we should resort to migrant labour all the time.
