Migrant visa crackdown amid fears wages are being undercut by firms | Politics | News
The number of companies that were banned from hiring immigrants due to their fears reduced wages has doubled last year.
Home office figures show that the sponsor of 1,948 sponsor of talented and temporary workers was canceled by June 2025 compared to 937 in the previous 12 -month period.
While underlining the British workers, the government is trying to destroy the low and exploitation of immigrant staff who are dependent on visa sponsors to stay in the country.
According to the home office, adult social care, hospitality, retail and construction sectors see the highest levels of abuse.
For companies, licenses ended to violate the rules, including the fact that workers are able to pay less, not to give them a promised job, and to help people seize the rules of immigration.
Migration Minister Mike Tapp said: “Those who abuse our immigration system must face the most powerful results.
“We will not hesitate to sponsorship from overseas countries where companies are made to upset British workers and benefit from vulnerable personnel.
“My message to unscrupulous employers is clear: These embarrassing practices will not be tolerated.”
The movement seems to be warned that a parliamentary committee’s work to overcome the exploitation of immigrant workers at the beginning of this year was “inefficient”.
The Committee of Public Accounts said that in July, the government could not collect the “basic information”, including whether the government was a victim of modern slavery and whether people leave the UK after the end of their visas.
The Ministry of Interior said it is determined to “improve the broken immigration system”.
Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood said on Monday that Britain could suspend visas for countries that do not accept agreements for immigrants as part of the efforts of the British efforts to destroy channel transitions.
Shadow Interior Minister Chris Philp described plans as “more dealing with the edges of a workers’ government in a non -serious working government”.
He said: “Migration sky is high, shelter grants are at record levels, and in terms of construction sectors are connected to import labor because labor is the welfare reform of educating British workers or putting people into affairs.”
