Home Office officials have privately admitted the department is having problems increasing its immigration staffing levels as part of its Brexit preparations and may have to recruit Polish and other eastern Europeans to help register the 3 million EU nationals in Britain.
Immigration lawyers said UK visas and immigration officials had told a recent business immigration conference that they faced a particular problem in “enticing staff to move to Sheffield, the city having been designated as the global processing centre”.
The disclosure comes as the immigration minister, Brandon Lewis, is to be questioned on Tuesday by the Commons home affairs select committee on the capacity of the Home Office to register the 3 million EU nationals in Britain and to implement the immigration system post-Brexit.
