Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Offshore wind workers concession on (a) training and (b) employment numbers of UK seafarers; and if she will undertake a review of the impact of the concession before the latest extension ends on 30 April 2023.

The Government regularly reviews the existence of concessions against the general principles of the immigration system to check whether they are necessary and regularly undertakes engagement with a wide range of stakeholders. This will continue to be the case in future.
