answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2015 answer text <p>The Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) have established Licensing Standards against which applicants and existing licence holders are assessed. They are all legal requirements to protect workers from poor treatment and exploitation and set out the conditions that must be met to obtain and hold a GLA licence.</p><p>The Standards are published on the GLA website at:-</p><p>http://www.gla.gov.uk/Guidance/Information-on-Licensing/Licencing-Standards/. 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
