Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Rooker (Labour) on Monday, 16 April 2007.
Immigration: Wages
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has received complaints from migrant workers about wages of less than the agricultural minimum, or about abuses relating to accommodation, debts or non-existent agencies; and, if so, how many complaints have been received.
- Answer
-
Defra has received 50 complaints from migrant workers about treatment under the agricultural wages legislation since the beginning of March 2006. These complaints are dealt with by the agricultural wages team within Defra. However, the agricultural wages team does not compile detailed statistics on the precise nature of the complaints it receives and to do so would incur disproportionate cost.
