To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the geographical distribution by region is of workers that have entered the UK under the seasonal workers pilot scheme.
George Eustice
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
This is a nationwide Pilot, with a nationwide quota. We have placed a specific duty on the selected scheme operators to ensure that all regions of the UK benefit from this Pilot and we are monitoring the distribution of workers across the four regions of the UK: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Pilot monitoring information that we have received to date shows that the spread across these regions is proportionate with regional demand.
