Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the collection 'Employers: illegal working penalties', last updated on 9th September 2026, whether the Department will publish or provide a record of all illegal working civil penalties issued to UK employers from 1 January 2016, including, for each penalty, the liable party, the business name at which the illegal workers were encountered, the address, postcode and final value of penalty.

Since 1 January 2016, the Home Office publishes a report each quarter which includes details of illegal working civil penalties naming employers who have:

• not paid or are not making regular payments towards a penalty 28 days after they have exhausted all their objection and/or appeal rights or
• been served with a second or further penalty once they have exhausted all their objection and/or appeal rights regardless of whether any payment has been made.

Non-compliant publications dating back to 1 January 2016 can be found on the National Archive website.

The Department does not plan to publish a record of all illegal working civil penalties issued to UK employers but will continue to keep the policy under review.
