Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what progress his Department has been made on producing guidance for people who have undertaken unpaid work trials.
In June, my hon. Friend the then Minister for Small Business, Consumers and Corporate Responsibility met employers and trade unions to discuss a draft of new guidance on the application of National Minimum Wage to work trials. The Government will bring forward new measures as a result of that meeting shortly.
