Fair Work Agency: Operating Costs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate he has made of the annual operating cost of the Fair Work Agency.
Answered by Kate Dearden
As set out in the department’s Strategic Steer, the Fair Work Agency has a budget of £60.1 million in 2026/27. The budget reflects the agency’s expanding remit and the additional functions it will take on. The uplift is intended to ensure the agency is properly resourced to carry out its statutory functions from day one, with clear expectations that it will deliver value for money.
