Accordingly, the impact assessment did not consider the likely effect on domestic graduate unemployment. While the Government does not believe it appropriate to offer non-EEA nationals unrestricted access to the labour market at a time of high graduate unemployment, Tier 4 (Student) Visa holders who obtain a graduate level job may remain in the UK on a Tier 2 Skilled Work) visa.</p><p /> <p /> <p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 08/09/2014 14:59:49 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
