Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he last held discussions with the Secretary of State for (a) the Home Department and (b) Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on the potential effect of the Offshore Wind Workers Immigration Rules Concession 2017 on maritime (i) jobs and (ii) skills.

Neither I, nor my colleague the Secretary of State, have yet had any discussions with our counterparts at the Home Office or Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy about this specific matter. However, I look forward to engaging colleagues on this important issue.
