PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Graduates: Migrant Workers (13 October 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to retain visa exemptions for PhD-level jobs after the UK leaves the EU.

Asked by:
Dr Rupa Huq (Labour)

Answer

Future immigration arrangements for EU citizens are still to be determined. However, the Government has consistently enhanced the treatment of PhD-level jobs in the immigration system.

Immigration reforms since 2010 have explicitly taken account of the needs of academics, scientists and researchers and will continue to do so.
