Written Question
Undocumented Workers
Monday 16th July 2018

Asked by: Eddie Hughes (Conservative - Walsall North)

Question to the Home Office:

What steps he is taking to ensure that illegal migrants cannot profit from working in the UK.

Answered by Caroline Nokes

In the Immigration Act 2016, we made illegal working a criminal offence so that wages can be seized as proceeds of crime and introduced tougher sanctions on rogue employers. We have also recently introduced additional safeguards to protect legal migrants seeking employment who do not have the necessary documentation to establish their lawful immigration status.
