A Liberal Democrat MP has urged the Government to accelerate asylum application processing to address workforce gaps in agriculture and hospitality.
Marie Goldman, who represents Chelmsford, argued that approved asylum seekers should be permitted to fill positions in industries experiencing severe staff shortages.
‘We need more people in our hospitality industry and people picking our crops for example,’ Ms Goldman told GB News.
The MP criticised the current system where applicants remain in limbo awaiting decisions. ‘If they are languishing in the asylum system, we’re getting nowhere.’
