Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information on (a) labour rights and (b) access to advice and remedy is routinely provided to workers who (i) file a complaint with and (ii) are encountered during labour inspections conducted by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority.
When a worker contacts the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority with a complaint about an employer the GLAA directs them to the information available on its website which covers rights and sources of advice.
Every worker interviewed or encountered during a compliance inspection is provided with a ‘Workers’ Rights’ leaflet available at http://www.gla.gov.uk/i-am-a/i-am-a-worker/workers-rights-leaflets/.
