Oral answer to question provided on Monday, 26 March 2007 in the House of Lords, by Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour).
Immigration: Domestic Workers
- Answer
-
My Lords, before making any change to the overseas domestic worker category, we shall consult on the future safeguards for those accompanying visitors to the United Kingdom. This consultation will include research and analysis to inform a targeted approach to identifying victims of trafficking at pre-entry and better understand any particular risks associated with those entering in a domestic capacity.
- Question
- Why they are proposing to reduce the safeguards against abuse and exploitation of domestic workers who enter the United Kingdom together with their employers by administrative action to make it harder for such persons to change employer.
