Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many inspections were conducted by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority on farms employing people with Seasonal Workers Visas in each financial year since 2018-19.

The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) does not routinely inspect farms employing people with Seasonal Workers Scheme visas, as the workers are employed directly by the farms or growers.

The GLAA does not hold site specific data in a format that can be extracted from their systems and will not only visit agricultural settings, but also food processing and shellfish gathering sites. Details on their inspection work are available here: Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority - Performance Reports - GLAA.
