MP seeks Home Office intervention over worker visas for Hindu temples

Eastern Eye20 Jan, 2024News

In a letter to James Cleverly on Wednesday (17), the Labour MP for Harrow West, who is also the chair of the All Parliamentary Group for British Gujaratis, said many temples have closed down or offer reduced services due to ?severe delays? in obtaining Tier 5 religious worker visas. Priests are vital to the community as they not only lead prayer services in temples, but are called upon by families for house warming and wedding ceremonies, among other religious events.
