This year, 30 thousand seasonal workers were allowed to the UK under a pilot scheme to pick fruit and veg. The National Farmers Union wants the scheme to be made permanent and the number of visas raised to at least 55,700. Meanwhile a Home Office Minister has told the EFRA Committee the Seasonal Workers Pilot scheme will be turned into a 3 year scheme with 30,000 visas available for next year and the year after, decreasing to 28,000 in the third year. He confirmed it would include visas for work in non-edible horticulture.
