Asked by: Alex Barros-Curtis (Labour - Cardiff West)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps the government is taking to ensure that that public contracts are not awarded to companies blacklisting workers.

Answered by Mark Ferguson - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Employment Relations Act 1999 (Blacklists) Regulations 2010 prohibit the compilation, usage, sale or supply of blacklists of workers.
