Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of reports that non-UK EU citizens are reconsidering job offers from UK companies, what assessment they have made of whether prospective employers in the UK will have access to a more limited pool of skills.

As my Rt hon Friend the Prime Minister has said, there will be no immediate changes as a result of the EU referendum, including in the circumstances of non-UK EU citizens working in the UK. The Government is committed to ensuring that the UK remains open for business and continues to grow and thrive. Ensuring our new relationship with the EU works for employees and employers will be important in the months ahead.
