UK - Sector Based Scheme announcement
01 December 2004
For concise and recent immigration information watch our news.
As of December 1 the second half of the Sector Based Scheme (SBS) quota will make 3,000 permits for the food processing sector available and 4,500 for the hospitality sector.
The 20 percent limit on the number of SBS work permits issued to any single nationality for each of the two sectors will still be in force. As a result, there will be no more hospitality permits issued to Bangladeshi nationals for the time being.
