Re: Britain outside the EU
The government is looking at options to fix labour shortages in the food sector.
Quote:
George Eustice said the government was considering whether changes could be made to the Seasonal Agricultural Workers' Scheme (SAWS).

SAWS is a quota-based scheme that allows farmers to recruit overseas.

Trade bodies have warned of panic-buying this Christmas unless action is taken to address the lack of staff.

Those shortages have been made worse by Covid and Brexit.

Mr Eustice acknowledged "the reality that there is an acute labour shortage at the moment across the UK economy".
