HC Deb 31 January 1995 vol 253 c600W
Ms Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement about the issuing of work permits to Japanese nationals, and on complaints made by employees of Quick Corp., London branch, 65 Clifton street, London EC2, about the overseas labour service section at his Department.

Mr. Oppenheim

Work permits are issued to Japanese nationals on the same basis as those issued to other nationalities.

The Department has not received complaints from employees of Quick Corp., London branch about the overseas labour service. OLS officials are considering representations from former employees of Quick Corp. about work permits issued to Japanese nationals employed by the company.
