Bangladeshi restaurant owners in Britain have expressed anger over what they see as the UK government’s Brexit turnaround. However, it has emerged that as part of ongoing Brexit negotiations, the preferential treatment for EU migrants over those from countries like Bangladesh is set to continue even after Britain leaves the EU. This would further undermine hopes for special temporary measures to bring in trained chefs as migrants from Bangladesh. But now it seems as if nobody is entertaining the idea,” said Enam Ali, founder of the British Curry Awards. According to his analysis, nearly 50% of all curry restaurants – around 6,000 – are expected to permanently shut down within 10 years due to a lack of qualified staff.
