Undocumented Workers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle the exploitation of people working illegally.
Answered by Alex Norris
As already announced, through the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, the Government is introducing tough new laws to clamp down on illegal working.
We have expanded our work across government and with law enforcement partners to target, investigate and enforce penalties on unscrupulous employers who illegally employ those with no right to work here.
We are stopping exploitation by criminal gangs, ensuring vulnerable people receive the correct support and making sure that those who break the law face serious consequences.
