Whoops!
British government has admitted that it has no idea whether over 150,000 legal migrants who entered the country on social care visas are still in the UK or not.
A significant cohort of the so-called “Boriswave” of migrants that flooded the country following post-Brexit immigration reforms under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is entirely unaccounted for, as the government failed to record data on whether they left the country, switched work visas, or are remaining in the country illegally.
Under Johnson’s 2022 immigration liberalisation — which led to historic levels of migration despite him having promised to lower immigration — the government added care staff to the “skilled worker” route, leading to 154,402 five-year visas being issued since then.
However, many such migrants likely entered as family members of social care workers until chain migration was banned for the category the following year, after which the number of visas fell tenfold, falling from 107,772 in 2023 to just 9,539 in 2024, The Telegraph reported. The social care immigration route was ultimately scrapped earlier this year.
According to the broadsheet, the government’s care minister, Stephen Kinnock, told parliament that his department “does not hold data that directly links visa status to ongoing employment in adult social care or residence in the United Kingdom over time.”
“As such, it is not possible to estimate the number or proportion of individuals who entered the UK on a social care work visa and who are still in the UK or working in the social care sector,” the Labour MP admitted.
