    I wonder if he or his wife know of an Indian company that can supply these people and visas?

    New scheme will see 3,000 Indians granted UK visas every year


    Rishi Sunak gives green light to UK-India Young Professionals Scheme as he seeks to smooth the path for a new trade deal
    3,000 this year, then it will be deemed a "great success to solving the UK skills crisis" and extended to 30,000 followed by 300,000 visas.

      Aligned completely government 'off-payroll' policy seeking to eliminate contractors and create demand for replacement workers.

      Proves that government thinking can be joined up when required.

        Most here will still vote Tory come the next GE and wonder why they can only find low rates, like those in a 3rd world country.

          Interesting - the article doesn't mention Ms Suella Braverman's own Indian heritage.

            Britons will also get visas as part of the reciprocal agreement, which officials said would be a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in a professional and cultural exchange”.
            Mr Sunak's grandparents are Indian and he is married to the daughter of an Indian billionaire, with his rise to the premiership garnering front page headlines in India.
            Speaking to The Spectator magazine, she said of the deal: “I do have some reservations. Look at migration in this country – the largest group of people who overstay are Indian migrants.”
            "Government policy, and my policy, is we will want to reduce net migration," he told GB News. "I’m not going to put an arbitrary number on it because I want to be honest with people.
            If anyone has not noticed, the registration of foreign visitors, students and workers was done away with last year. Nobody knows who is an overstayer and when a foreigner leaves the country.

              This is so the government can say "We've found no evidence of visa over-staying".
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Cynic.

                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Just so long as they fck off back home afterwards. Also, let's ensure they can't bring children over - like the Swiss did with their visa system.
