	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text The off-payroll working rules have been in place since 2000. Reforms to how the off-payroll rules are administered in the public sector have been in place since 6 April 2017. Independent research into the reforms in the public sector showed there was no clear evidence of a reduction in the number of contractor roles, relative to public sector bodies’ overall workforce. Most public sector bodies did not experience any change in their ability to fill vacancies, following the reforms. answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/10/2019 07:48:53 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
