Require companies to employ minimum 70% UK nationals before sponsoring others

Petition Details

We believe 70% of employees in a company should be UK nationals. The government should set this as a requirement for any companies requesting a Sponsor License, Certificates of Sponsorship, or License renewals.

Additional Information

We urge the government to require all UK registered companies (excluding the NHS and Health Sector) to employ at least 70% UK citizens before sponsoring overseas employees on Skilled worker visas.

We believe this would help to reduce immigration, reduce employment rates and develop skills for locals.
