Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much money has been accrued to the public purse as a result of Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority Tier 1 interventions in each of the last six months.

Tier 1 interventions involve action by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) to recover, for workers, money owed to them by employers. Recovery involves payment of the sums owed by the employers direct to the workers concerned, not to the public purse. The amounts recovered for workers in this way are published annually in the GLAA’s Annual Report and Accounts.
