Tandoori And Curry Chefs (EDM987)

Tandoori And Curry Chefs

EDM number 987 in 2007-08, proposed by Richard Younger-Ross on 20/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Food, Immigration and Service industries.

That this House notes the concern of Asian restaurateurs that new immigration regulations are causing a shortage of tandoori and curry chefs; further notes that this shortage is threatening the viability of many restaurants that have contributed both financially and culturally to the UK; and calls on the Government to review the regulations, such as the need to speak good English before arrival, so as to ensure an adequate supply of temporary work visas for tandoori and curry chefs.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
