A Bill to extend the powers of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority to enable it to regulate employment agencies in all sectors of the economy; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
15 May 2014
This Bill would extend the Gangmasters Licensing Authority's powers so it can regulate employment agencies across all sectors of the economy, not just those in agriculture. It aims to improve protections for workers by ensuring agency recruitment and practices are properly overseen. This means one regulator would cover the whole labour market.
Currently at the second reading in the House of Commons; the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process.
