Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of the closure of immigration routes to lower paid work on levels of labour market abuse and exploitation.
The Government has been clear free movement is ending and a new immigration system will be introduced from January 2021.
The Government is committed to eradicating exploitation across all sectors of the labour market and migrant workers are no exception.
The focus of the Gangmasters Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) is on protecting vulnerable and exploited workers, who can raise concerns in confidence with the GLAA through their telephone line.
