	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2016 answer text <p>The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme was closed at the end of 2013 when the transitional employment restrictions applied to nationals of Bulgaria and Romania were lifted. Until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force. The agricultural sector will until then continue to be able to recruit EU-national workers to meet their labour needs until the UK leaves the EU.</p><p>There are a number of options as to how EU migration might work once we have left. We are about to begin these negotiations and it would be wrong to set out further positions in advance. At every step of these negotiations we will work to ensure the best possible outcome for the British people.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 08/12/2016 16:15:27 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
