This bill would extend the licensing rules that apply to gangmasters to the construction industry. It would change the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 (by amending section 3) so that construction sites and the agencies that supply workers to them are covered by the licensing system, with the aim of preventing exploitation and unsafe practices.
The bill is in the early stages of passage in the House of Commons, currently at the 2nd reading. If it proceeds, it would move to committee stage and further readings before potentially going to the Lords.
