Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of automatic-enrolment pension arrangements on workers employed through employment agencies.

The law requires employers to enrol all eligible workers into a qualifying workplace pension scheme and make at least a minimum contribution to their pension. This includes workers employed through employment agencies. The Department has made no separate assessment of the impact of automatic enrolment on these workers.
