View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 284 and 285 together.
The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that these applications were refused on the grounds that the issue of permits in this instance would lead to more than 50% of the employees in the stated company being non-EEA nationals.
The employer was notified of this decision in writing and of their right to appeal. To-date no such appeal has been received in the Employment Permits Section.
