Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether her Department plans to take steps to expedite the visa process for UK models accepting roles in Europe on a tight deadline.

The Government recognises the importance of mobility for UK businesses, and regularly engages other European countries to address any bilateral mobility issues and to ensure the visa information they provide is clear. To help businesses navigate the visa and work permit rules of EU Member States, the Government has published guidance on GOV.UK on entry requirements, as well as for Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. This includes a specific ‘landing page’ for the fashion sector.
