Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to retain visa exemptions for PhD-level jobs after the UK leaves the EU.
Future immigration arrangements for EU citizens are still to be determined. However, the Government has consistently enhanced the treatment of PhD-level jobs in the immigration system.
Immigration reforms since 2010 have explicitly taken account of the needs of academics, scientists and researchers and will continue to do so.
