They include treatment of workers, accommodation and working conditions among others. Any non-compliance with the Standards is treated very seriously and would bear on the risk a licence holder poses. In addition, the GLA receives intelligence from partner agencies, such as police forces, about businesses which would also be taken into account in assessing risk. The GLA can inspect businesses where there are concerns.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 18/09/2015 10:43:38 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
