Seasonal worker shortage branded unnecessary and costly

Seasonal worker shortage branded ‘unnecessary and costly’ The Government has placed British food producers ‘at the bottom of the list’ for migrant workers thanks to ‘unnecessary and costly’ uncertainty surrounding delayed Seasonal Workers Pilot announcements, according to MPs. The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Select Committee has raised concerns about the British food supply chain’s ability to secure sufficient labour for summer 2021 under the Government’s new immigration policy. The Committee also challenged the Government’s last-minute approach to finalising the details of the recruitment scheme for overseas seasonal workers.

The UK Government has announced an extension to the existing pilot of the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme (Saws) that will see up to 30,000 overseas workers able to come to pick soft fruits and complete other farm work in the coming year. Workers, who would not meet the “criteria” for a “skilled visa” will be allowed to work and reside in the UK for up to six months.
