Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the potential economic merits of providing residency rights via express entry to British National Overseas participants of the youth mobility programme.
The Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme enables nationals from participating countries to work and stay in the UK for up to two years. British Nationals (Overseas) are eligible to apply under these arrangements. The scheme is temporary and therefore does not lead to settlement.
