Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the collection 'Employers: illegal working penalties', last updated on 9th September 2026, whether the Department will publish or provide a record of all illegal working civil penalties issued to UK employers from 1 January 2016, including, for each penalty, the liable party, the business name at which the illegal workers were encountered, the address, postcode and final value of penalty.

Answered by Anna Turley - Minister of State (Home Office)

Since 1 January 2016, the Home Office publishes a report each quarter which includes details of illegal working civil penalties naming employers who have:

• not paid or are not making regular payments towards a penalty 28 days after they have exhausted all their objection and/or appeal rights or
• been served with a second or further penalty once they have exhausted all their objection and/or appeal rights regardless of whether any payment has been made.

Non-compliant publications dating back to 1 January 2016 can be found on the National Archive website.

The Department does not plan to publish a record of all illegal working civil penalties issued to UK employers but will continue to keep the policy under review.
