Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Penn on 21 February (HL6024 and HL6025), what impact analysis was undertaken by the Home Office on likely labour shortages arising from policies designed to treat EU citizens on the same basis as migrants from other parts of the world.

The Home Office published “Impact Assessment for Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill 2020” which is attached (1) and “Impact Assessment for changes to the Immigration Rules for Skilled Workers” which is also attached (2), respectively.
