HC Deb 08 November 1983 vol 48 cc128-9W
48. Mr. Leigh

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many work permits have been granted to those wishing to work in west Lindsey, Lincolnshire, in the part 12 months.

Mr. Alan Clark

In 1982, 21 permits were issued for employment in Lincolnshire but the information relating to an individual district is not available except at disproportionate cost.

Certain other workers from non-European Community countries may be admitted by the Home Office without a work permit. Two significant categories are short-term seasonal workers in approved agricultural camps and working holidaymakers. So far this year approval has been given to 61 overseas workers to take up employemt at the agricultural camps in Lincolnshire, but no statistics are available for working holidaymakers taking employment in the county.
