APPENDIX 35
Memorandum by Xansa (India) Ltd
Thank you for the meeting on 6 March 2006. It
was indeed very fruitful and we hope that you and fellow members
of your committee found it helpful.
Currently, the process we follow is to apply
for a work permit only after the employee has been employed by
Xansa for six months. This restriction has the effect of preventing
recently joined skilled and qualified employees from delivering
valuable services to our UK clients at their UK premises.
I take this opportunity on behalf of Xansa to
formally request that the Trade and Industry Select Committee
recommends waiver of the 6 month work criteria, prior to grant
of a work permit to an Indian National by the High Commission.
May I also take this opportunity to put on record
our appreciation of the effectiveness of the High Commission here
in India in providing support.
