Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Murray of Blidworth on 22 June (HL8363), which stated "There are various safe and legal routes for those seeking to work in the UK under the Points Based System", what are those legal routes.

There is a wide variety of legal routes available to migrants seeking to work in the UK. We granted over 300,000 work visas to main applicants in year ending March 2023.

The full list of available routes, as well as guidance on each one, can be found on the government web site – https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas
