To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to negotiate bilateral youth mobility schemes with countries across Europe to ensure UK travel businesses can hire UK citizens for critical tourism roles overseas.
Lord Aberdare
Crossbench
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made progress in negotiating any bilateral youth mobility schemes with EU countries, particularly France, Greece, Italy and Spain.
Lord Murray of Blidworth
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
The UK remain open to negotiating new Youth Mobility Scheme (YMS) arrangements with other countries and territories including EU Member States. However, as each YMS is subject to a bilateral, reciprocal arrangement which also provides benefit to UK nationals, with the details agreed between the relevant parties, we are unable to disclose the status of negotiations as they occur.
