Employment Rights BillContribution
The Government, it seems, are going to open up an EU mobility scheme. I think a lot of this is to do with the fact that many employers are concerned about what happened with Brexit. Although we ended up with nearly 5 million people getting EU settled status, a significant proportion of people decided not to come back to the UK after Covid, but still have that status and could. At the moment there is this huge gap for employers, who are concerned. It is extraordinary to think how many people are actively seeking work but still unemployed in London, given the number of vacancies in this capital city.
