Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what representations she has received from the creative industries about the provision of cultural and educational permits to EU residents after the UK leaves the EU.

The Government is considering a range of options for the immigration system for EU citizens after the UK leaves the EU. Since the Referendum result last year, Ministers have been undertaking an extensive programme of engagement and evidence gathering with all interested parties including business, industry, trade unions, educational institutions and many others. On 27 July, my RHF the Home Secretary also commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee to advise on current patterns of EU migration across all sectors, and the role of migration in the wider economy and society.
