LONDON \u2014 The British government was accused of hypocrisy toward low-paid, critical workers as lawmakers backed proposals to abolish EU free movement.<\/p>\n

MPs voted in favor of an immigration bill in the House of Commons, with 351 in favor and 252 against, moving it to committee stage, where detailed examination of the proposals takes place.<\/p>\n

Shadow Home Secretary Nick Symonds-Thomas said the bill \u201cis not in the national interest,\u201d while his predecessor Diane Abbott accused the government of clapping for carers on Thursdays and then proposing new barriers for critical workers seeking to move to the U.K.<\/p>\n

Even Conservative backbenchers raised concerns about the governments approach toward low-paid, critical workers, with former immigration minister Caroline Nokes saying ending freedom of movement must be done \u201cwith caution,\u201d and calling for care workers and hospital ancillary staff to have their visas extended alongside doctors and nurses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that one in six of those brave care workers on the front line of the battle against coronavirus are non-U.K. nationals,\u201d Nokes said. \u201cWe cannot open hospitals if we cannot clean the loos.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Commons debate, Home Secretary Priti Patel failed to make concessions on the immigration health surcharge, a fee levied on the majority of U.K. visa applications, which the government recently waived temporarily for frontRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
