To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made progress in negotiating any bilateral youth mobility schemes with EU countries, particularly France, Greece, Italy and Spain.

The UK remain open to negotiating new Youth Mobility Scheme (YMS) arrangements with other countries and territories including EU Member States. However, as each YMS is subject to a bilateral, reciprocal arrangement which also provides benefit to UK nationals, with the details agreed between the relevant parties, we are unable to disclose the status of negotiations as they occur.
