Migrant Workers: Exploitation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 30 March 2023 to Question 174420 on Migrant Workers: Exploitation, if she will set a target to meet the International Labour Organisation standard of 1 labour inspector per 10,000 workers.

Answer

At this stage, we will not set a target of labour market inspectors. The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) is a regulatory, law enforcement and compliance body charged with preventing, detecting, and tackling labour exploitation across the UK. We work closely with all enforcement bodies, including the GLAA, to ensure the effectiveness and impact of their activities, regardless the number of labour market inspectors.
