Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Employment Regulations Act 1999 (Blacklists) Regulations 2010.
The effectiveness of these regulations has not recently been assessed as we have, to date, seen no evidence of this practice recurring.
However, the Information Commissioner’s Office is currently investigating some allegations of blacklisting. The Government will be paying close attention to the outcome of these investigations.
