The Bishop of Exeter received the following written answer on 10th October 2022:
The Lord Bishop of Exeter asked Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to increase the number of visas for seasonal workers given the estimated £60 million losses by the horticultural industry for the first half of this year’s growing season.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con): The Seasonal Worker route was extended into this year, with 38,000 visas available, to support our farmers growing fruit and vegetables as they adapt to changes in the UK labour market. The new Government will keep the position on seasonal workers under close review.
