Therese welcomes Gangmaster Licensing Reform
Therese has today welcomed the reforms to the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) which will reduce the burden onbusinesses especially in the forestry industry, as part of the red tape challenge.
The GLA regulates the produce and horticulture industry focussing on worker exploitation by unlicensed gangmasters. However the amount of regulation in some industries has become cumbersome and unproductive.
Therese said: "The GLA has done a great deal of good work but there are some low risk industries where this over regulation has had a negative effect. I am pleased that the Minister has decided to remove the forestry industry from the scope of the GLA.
She added: "The reforms will please many constituents who have complained to me about over regulation in this industry and shows the Government's commitment to set the right conditions for jobs and growth".

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: A and E Departments (21 May 2013)
Therese Coffey: The issue of out-of-hours care and the additional pressure on A and E has been present in Suffolk since before the election. Just last Friday, I was in Felixstowe to meet the four patient participation groups there, and yet again out-of-hours care was identified as a real problem.
