Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Register of licensed sponsors: workers, published on 7 October 2024, how many seafarers were sponsored to work on ships (a) in UK waters, (b) on international routes from UK ports and (c) in the offshore wind industry.

All those who came to the UK under the concession were stamped at the Border rather than through visa routes and therefore no data was collected.
