Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will accept the Migration Advisory Committee’s recommendation that roles in hospitality should be added to the Shortage of Occupation List.

In the Migration Advisory Committee’s (MAC) review of the hospitality sector earlier this year they did not recommend adding any roles to the Shortage Occupation List. The review can be viewed at: Construction and Hospitality Shortage Review (publishing.service.gov.uk)

The MAC are due to submit their full review of the Shortage Occupation List later this year, and the Government will carefully consider their recommendations once received.
