Defra does not collect data on the nationality of those employed in agriculture for the individual countries of the UK, including Wales. It does have information on the number of non-UK EU nationals (EU27) in the Agriculture sector collected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as part of the Annual Population Survey (APS). ONS has published data only for 2010, 2013 and 2016, available at:<\/p>

<\/p>

The APS excludes non-permanent residents (ie. seasonal workers) and does not sample communal establishments. The number of non-EU workers is unavailable due to small sample size.<\/p>

Defra is considering the latest data, and working closely with industry to understand labour demand and supply within these sectors.<\/p>

Until 2016, Defra published data on the estimated number of seasonal agricultural workers in all UK countries in \u201cAgriculture in the UK\u201d, which is a Defra publication. Since 2016, data is published for England only, collected by the June Horticulture and Agriculture Survey. Defra does not collect data on the nationality of those workers.<\/p>

Defra Ministers have ongoing discussions with a range of Government departments, including the Home Office, about securing the workforce that the farming industry needs.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has also commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to assess the role that EU citizens play in the UK economy and society, and how to align future immigration framework with a modern industrial strategy.<\/p>

<\/p>

For the future we will continue to monitor the situation, work with stakeholders, and assess the current and future evidence to support our ability to secure the workforce the food and farming industry needs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3934", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for George Eustice"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Camborne and Redruth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "George Eustice"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-22T17:10:32.363Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Agriculture: Migrant Workers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what research has been done by his Department into the levels of temporary labour and agency workers from the EEA in food processing and agriculture; and whether his Department plans to commission further research on this topic.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/151", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tom Brake"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Carshalton and Wallington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tom Brake"} ], "uin" : "122782"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 4, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
