This Bill would require the Secretary of State to start negotiations with EU member states to extend the UK's Youth Mobility Scheme to applicants from those countries on a reciprocal basis. In other words, if the UK offers young people from an EU country the chance to participate, it would seek a matching arrangement for UK participants to go to that country under a similar scheme. The provision is described as being for connected purposes, which could cover related steps needed to implement any agreement.

The 2024-2026 session of Parliament has come to an end so the House of Commons is now prorogued until the next session begins on 13 May 2026. Prorogation is the formal end to the parliamentary year.
This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
No recorded votes for this bill yet.
