Fair Work Agency
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what measures will be used to assess the effectiveness of the Fair Work Agency in improving compliance with employment law.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The Fair Work Agency (FWA) will build on the data currently collated and published by existing labour market enforcement bodies.
The Secretary of State is required to publish annual reports that assess the extent to which enforcement functions have been carried out in line with the three-year enforcement strategies. These will assess levels of non-compliance and set out how the FWA will measure its performance. Both the annual reports and enforcement strategies will be laid before Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly and will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny in the usual way.
