Business question from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
This Sunday will be the second anniversary of the tragic deaths of 23 cockle pickers in Morecambe bay. My right hon. Friend knows that the House approved legislation to go some way towards preventing such disasters from happening again. Despite that, the Government have not yet implemented the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004. If there is further delay, illegal gangmasters will have yet another year to operate in the twilight world. I have personally tried to find out where the blockage is, but it is like knitting fog. Will my right hon. Friend identify the blockage and use his influence to unblock that necessary legislation?
