Background
We call on the Government to grant a six-month grace period to workers affected by sponsor licence revocation. Many have complied with immigration rules, paid taxes, contributed to the economy, bought homes and built families in the UK without accessing public funds. A six-month period would allow them to find a new sponsor, switch visa routes or make arrangements, reflecting the UK’s values of fairness, compassion and responsibility.
