Asked by:

Answer
We have made significant progress in implementing the recommendations of the Taylor Review, including:
- closing the loophole which saw agency workers employed on cheaper rates than permanent workers;
- quadrupling the maximum fine for employers who treat their workers badly; and
- giving all workers the right to receive a statement of their rights from day one.
The Government is committed to building on this record to deliver a high skilled, high productivity, high wage economy that delivers on our ambition to make the UK the best place in the world to work and grow a business.
