Immigration Rules And Overseas Performers
Mark Lazarowicz
2008-05-14
That this House welcomes the decision by the Home Office to classify a special visitor category which will continue to allow non-European performers to come to perform at international events in Britain at a low visa cost; and recognises that many events across the country, such as the Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe, benefit from the talents of these performers, and that this decision will ensure the continued success of such events.
