Rupa Huq – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Rupa Huq on 2016-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to retain visa exemptions for PhD-level jobs after the UK leaves the EU.

Mr Robert Goodwill

Future immigration arrangements for EU citizens are still to be determined. However, the Government has consistently enhanced the treatment of PhD-level jobs in the immigration system.

Immigration reforms since 2010 have explicitly taken account of the needs of academics, scientists and researchers and will continue to do so.
