Migrant Workers: Exploitation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to help tackle exploitative employers that target immigrant workers.
- Answer
-
The Fair Work Agency will bring existing labour market enforcement functions together into one place, so employment rights for all workers are enforced more effectively and efficiently.
In addition, the White Paper ‘Restoring Control over the Immigration System’ set out measures for targeting exploitation of migrant workers including reforms to the sponsorship system, putting more responsibility and accountability on effective and responsible sponsors. This will include exploring making it easier for workers to move between licensed sponsors, reducing the risk of exploitation.
