Lords committee calls for UK dependants ban review

Posted date: 14 Feb 2025

The House of Lords’ Science and Technology Committee has recommended a review of the dependants ban, urging the government to consider exemptions to benefit the UK’s ability to attract STEM talent.  
In a letter to the home secretary, the committee called the current visa policy an “act of national self-harm” which “throws up barriers” to master’s and PhD students, young researchers, and early career science and technology experts to work and study in the UK.
