Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of the proposed points-based immigration system on reporting of labour market abuse and exploitation in lower paid work.

The Government is committed to eradicating exploitation across all sectors of the labour market and migrant workers are no exception. Anyone can raise concerns of labour market abuse and exploitation in confidence with the Gangmasters Labour Abuse Authority through their telephone line.
