answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2022 answer text <p>Section 43 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (Working in UK waters) was due to be commenced and implemented in November 2022. However, following careful consideration, and taking on board requests and feedback from key stakeholders, the implementation of Section 43 has been delayed until Spring 2023.</p><p>The additional time before commencement and implementation will allow industries to fully prepare for any changes they need to make to ensure full compliance with the UK immigration system, should they wish to bring in foreign national workers to work in UK waters. Fishermen can currently use the Skilled Worker route, eligible jobs include share fishermen, trawler skippers, fish processors, and deckhands on large fishing vessels (9m+). During this time period, as now, all foreign national workers working wholly or mainly in UK waters will still need permission to work before they come to the UK.</p><p>Further information and guidance will be available in advance of Spring 2023, including the date the new provision will come into force.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 02/11/2022 10:20:58 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick previous answer version 28484 answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
