The Seasonal Workers Pilot is different to the previous Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme, which ran until 2013.<\/p>

<\/p>

The pilot will be run by two operators who will act as third party providers of labour. The Home Office have concluded that two scheme operators is the optimal number for managing this pilot. Defra ran a competitive selection process to select the two operators.<\/p>

<\/p>

The pilot is not designed to meet the full labour needs of the horticultural sector. Rather, the Government is seeking to evaluate the pilot\u2019s ability to assist in alleviating labour shortages during peak production periods.

There are no plans to exempt international healthcare professionals from the requirement to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge. It is right that healthcare professionals subject to immigration control who come to the UK for more than six months make a fair contribution to the running of the NHS, as do other providers of essential public services, including teachers.<\/p>

The Government recognises the major contribution that overseas health workers, and other highly skilled professionals make to the UK. Nurses currently benefit from an exemption from the minimum salary threshold for Tier 2 and a number of health professions appear on the Shortage Occupation List.<\/p>

In addition, on 6 July 2018 we took action to exempt doctors and nurses entirely from the annual Tier 2 cap that applies to skilled workers. This change means that there is no limit on the number of overseas doctors and nurses needed in the UK who can be sponsored to work here. The Home Secretary has recently made clear that he has no plans to remove that exemption.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4311", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Williams of Trafford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-14T16:59:09.177Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-03-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Health Professions: Migrant Workers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford on 27 February (HL13739), what plans they have, if any, to abolish the health surcharge for overseas health workers in order to recruit more health professionals from overseas; and if not, why not.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/248", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Jones of Cheltenham"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Jones of Cheltenham"} ], "uin" : "HL14156"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1079615", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1079615/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We remain deeply concerned about treatment of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. Of particular concern are two developments from February 2019: (1) the six year prison sentence handed down to Jehovah's Witness Dennis Christensen; and (2) reports of the torture of Jehovah's Witnesses while in detention. We worked with international partners to deliver EU statements to the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe on these issues. In these statements, we called on Russia to respect its international commitments on freedom of religion or belief, and to investigate the reports of torture, ensuring those responsible are held accountable. We continue to prioritise the promotion and protection of human rights, and will continue to make our concerns clear in bilateral interactions at all levels, where appropriate<\/p>

As stated in my written answer on 5 November 2018 (HL11004), it is long standing government policy not to comment in detail on security matters, including what criteria we use to assess security requirements at airports.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK Government continues to work closely with its Egyptian counterparts, sharing its expertise in establishing effective security arrangements at all Egyptian airports including Sharm el-Sheikh. We hope to be in a position to resume direct flights when the circumstances are right.<\/p>

On 26 February 2019, the Government announced that it will consult on options to ban tyres older than 10 years from use on buses, coaches, heavy goods vehicles and mini-buses.<\/p>

<\/p>

The consultation will also look at whether the ban should be extended to taxis and private hire vehicles.<\/p>

<\/p>

We understand that some of the options under consideration may have implications for different stakeholder groups. This is why we have committed to a full consultation in order to better understand the consequences of various proposals.<\/p>
