Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national workers have (a) applied and (b) been granted permission to work in UK territorial waters under the Immigration (Offshore Worker Notification and Exemption from Control (Amendment)) Regulations 2023 from 12 April to 21 June 2023.
These regulations do not provide anyone with permission to work in UK waters and all foreign nationals will need to apply for the appropriate permission to work under a points-based system immigration route before commencing work.
