Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Gordon Banks (Labour). It was answered by Liam Byrne (Labour) on Monday, 4 December 2006 on behalf of the Home Office.
Illegal Immigrants (Employment)
- Question
- What assessment he has made of the adequacy of penalties that apply to employers of illegal immigrants.
- Answer
-
To strengthen the existing powers to prosecute and fine the employers of illegal migrant workers, we took action in the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 to introduce a system of civil penalties for careless employers and a criminal offence of knowingly employing illegal workers. That will come into force by the end of 2007.
