Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to his oral statement of 4 December 2023 entitled Legal Migration, Official Report, column 41, for what reason the review of the graduate visa route has not been started.

The Government recognises the importance of reviewing the Graduate route, in line with the Home Secretary’s commitment of 4 December 2023.

We will commission the Migration Advisory Committee to undertake this review at the earliest opportunity.
