Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how the Director of Labour Market Enforcement plans to consult before drafting his labour market enforcement strategy.

The Director of Labour Market Enforcement (The Director) was appointed on 1 January 2017 and has submitted to ministers an introductory labour market enforcement strategy. In preparing the strategy the Director held stakeholder roundtables, a stakeholder survey, and met with the three enforcement bodies - the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate, and HMRC’s National Minimum Wage team – as well as public bodies and external stakeholders.
