<p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Ministry of Defence
both sponsor museums and galleries in England; these are all Arm’s Length Bodies (ALBs).
The Border Force, part of the Home Office, also supports a collection (Seized!), housed
in a DCMS museum ALB. All Government ALBs, including museums and galleries, are responsible
for their own employment policies and processes, including ensuring that they comply
with employment laws.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will be considering the Pimlico
Plumbers LTD and another v Smith judgment as we prepare the response to our employment
status consultation. The outcome of this consultation should help provide clarity
for all public bodies, including ALBs, regarding the status and rights of of individuals
who work for them, as well as advice on sick and holiday pay. More information regarding
the consultation can be found here, and is attached: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/employment-status.</p><p>
