Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 July 2025

Debate

Jobs Market

Contribution

My Lords, concerning changes to the jobs market, changes to the skilled worker visa mean that public sector workers, including prison officers, can now face deportation because the salary threshold has jumped over their wages—which ignores why we wanted them here in the first place. Therefore, will the Minister make the case to the Home Office that prison officers should be exempted from this arbitrary limit and that their employers should also help to pay their legal costs?
