Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to encourage AI experts to work in the UK, particularly in relation to reducing visa fees.

In meeting the AI skills commitments under the AI Opportunities Action Plan, the Government has pledged to strengthen and increase opportunities for technical AI expertise in the UK by creating new AI fellowships, scholarships, and Higher Education courses. Fees for immigration and nationality applications are routinely kept under review, taking into account a range of factors and objectives, including the Government's commitments to reduce levels of net migration.
