Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions he has had with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority on (a) the seasonal agricultural workers pilot scheme and (b) the tier 5 sponsorship licence for that scheme.
The holding of a Gangmaster Labour and Abuse Authority (GLAA) licence is a pre-requisite for becoming a Tier 5 licenced sponsor for the Seasonal Workers Pilot and the Home Office is working closely with the GLAA.
