Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department plans to implement the recommendations of the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices.

We have made significant progress in implementing the recommendations of the Taylor Review, including:

- closing the loophole which saw agency workers employed on cheaper rates than permanent workers;

- quadrupling the maximum fine for employers who treat their workers badly; and

- giving all workers the right to receive a statement of their rights from day one.

The Government is committed to building on this record to deliver a high skilled, high productivity, high wage economy that delivers on our ambition to make the UK the best place in the world to work and grow a business.
