them Summary quare, • Your views are invited on proposals to clarify the terms of the Gangmasters Licensing (Exclusions) Regulations 2006. e. • Feedback received from stakeholders about the way that the 2006 Regulations are operating suggests some refinement may be necessary to fine-tune the range of excluded circumstances. • This consultation also offers you the opportunity to identify any other areas of the Regulations which you consider need refinement. • The Government is not proposing to make substantive changes to the scope of the Gangmasters Licensing Scheme. Therefore this consultation does not seek views on making major revisions to the existing boundary set by the 2006 Regulations.

Consultation Document
Background Discu 1. The Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 was drafted in broad terms to require all labour providers 3. In operating in agriculture, horticulture, the processing and packaging of agricultural, fish and p shellfish produce, and the gathering of shellfish to obtain a licence. As a result of the way that w the Act was drafted, certain circumstances – which do not involve the activity of labour providers a or where the risk of exploitation of workers and other illegal activity by labour providers is st minimal – are brought within the definition of acting as a gangmaster. n to 2. The Gangmasters Licensing (Exclusions) Regulations 2006 fine-tune the scope of the licensing a arrangements by specifying circumstances where a person does not need to obtain a licence. c Annex A contains a copy of the Regulations and Annex B summarises the principal activities p which the current regulations exclude from the scope of the scheme. b to a 4.

Discussion viders 3. In broad terms the current arrangements have mapped reasonably accurately those areas where h and providers of gang labour are active, while excluding peripheral labour supply arrangements y that which do not represent the supply of gang labour or where the risk of exploitation of workers viders and other illegal activity by labour providers is low. However feedback received from ders is stakeholders since the Regulations were made in 2006, suggests that some refinement may be necessary to widen the range of excluded circumstances and to clarify the terms we have used to define the current exclusions. The activities which the industry has brought to our attention ensing are discussed in more detail in the remainder of this consultation document. They include cence. circumstances which were never intended to be covered by the licensing system in the first tivities place, such as charities which supply workers into the sectors covered by the Act. It has also been suggested that the terms used to define some of the existing exclusions should be relaxed to exclude informal or co-operative arrangements between farmers which do not involve the activity of mainstream labour providers. 4. The Government is not intending to use this consultation to initiate a fundamental review of the scope of the scheme. We are not seeking views on proposals to extend licensing to other sectors in the food chain, such as the retail and catering industries. Nor is the Government seeking views on proposals to remove the food processing sector from the scope of licensing, which was considered thoroughly at the time of the second consultation on the Exclusion Regulations at the end of 2005. There is general agreement among stakeholders, Government and the GLA that a fundamental review would be unhelpful and disruptive. Rather the focus of this consultation is focused on mainstream agricultural and forestry activities where clarification and revision of the terms of the Regulations could lighten burdens without opening up potential loopholes that could be exploited by those seeking to avoid licensing.

Proposals made by stakeholders to change the Exclusions Regulations Parag farme 5. Several changes to the terms of the Exclusions Regulations have been suggested by stakeholders. The purpose of these changes can be broadly categorised as follows: 9. P w i) to relieve the burden imposed by licensing on mainstream farming and forestry practices T which do not involve the use of labour providers; i) ii) to remove from the scope of licensing other activities caught by the licensing requirement ii) which do not represent labour provider activity; and ii iii) to clarify and make more transparent the application of the terms used in the Regulations to describe the activities excluded from licensing. T Your views are sought on all of the proposals described in detail below. You are also invited to d identify other areas in the Regulations which you think should be excluded or clarified and to explain why you think such a change is necessary. 10. S fo Definitions used in paragraph 1 of the Schedule to the Exclusions Regulations m 6. Paragraph 1 of the Schedule to the Exclusions Regulations (see Annex A) provides definitions of p the terms used in the remaining paragraphs of the Schedule to describe the circumstances (a where a licence is not required. Many of these terms were not previously defined in existing tr legislation when we developed the Regulations and hence were untested in a legal framework. e We think in general that the definitions we have used convey fairly accurately and u unambiguously the meaning of the terms we have used. However, to date no case law has been v established about the operation of these Regulations. th e 7. However, one stakeholder has suggested that the definition of “share farming agreement” used w by these Regulations is unnecessarily restrictive. The current definition is: st “an agreement entered into between two or more persons to share the gross receipts of – 11. In (a) their separate business assets; or fo (b) services for carrying out specified farming operations, fa As divided between them and paid to the business in agreed proportions.” 12. T fl It has been suggested that this definition should be replaced by one where the receipts shared a are “net”, as share farming agreements usually share net receipts for the express purpose of th creating a group working structure while avoiding the need to form a partnership (where the c partners would be jointly and severally liable to the creditors). th Q1. Do you agree that the definitions used in the Regulations convey accurately the terms 13. T used? fo Q2. If not, which definitions need further clarification, and why? A 6 Q3.

Paragraph 4 of the Schedule to the Exclusions Regulations – Short-term farmer to farmer loans ed by 9. Paragraph 4 of the Schedule to the Exclusions Regulations specifies those circumstances which do not need to be licensed when workers are loaned between farmers. ctices These circumstances include: i) the short term loan of workers, ement ii) the exceptional loan of workers originally supplied by a labour provider, and iii) the loan of workers on a farm which is the subject of a share farming agreement between ons to the two farmers. The purpose of this exclusion is to exclude from licensing a mainstream farming practice which ted to does not represent gangmaster activity though it is defined as such by the Act. nd to 10. Sub-paragraph 4(b) provides for the exclusion of workers lent by one farmer to another. In order for the lender to qualify for this exclusion, the worker lent must not work for the borrower for more than 20% of the total hours that the worker worked for the lender in the three months ons of prior to the commencement of the loan. Some stakeholders have claimed that this 20% rule ances (as it is known) is too restrictive as it cannot always accommodate the seasonal peaks and xisting troughs of the agricultural cycle. For instance, it is argued that the 20% limit (which broadly 1 work. equates to a maximum period of 2 ⁄2 weeks) is insufficient in the case of workers loaned to y and undertake activities – such as spring cereal sowing, lambing, calving, potato lifting and 1 been vegetable harvesting – which could take considerably longer than 2 ⁄2 weeks. Others argue that this rule, which deters some farmers from employing workers as direct employment is economically viable only when the farmer is able to offset the cost of employment by loaning used workers to other farmers during periods of low activity. In this view the financial benefit stemming from the loan of workers is outweighed by the cost of obtaining a licence. – 11. Information about the frequency of farmer to farmer loans of workers is not collected by any formal survey. Informal soundings taken by one agricultural stakeholder suggest that most farmers who employ workers are caught by the 20% rule. 12. The 20% limit was set at this level as it was thought to balance best the need of farmers for flexibility in running their businesses with the need to ensure that this exclusion does not provide hared a loophole which could be exploited by labour providers in order to avoid licensing. In principle ose of the Government is not opposed to relaxing the 20% limit exclusion if it removes genuine re the constraints on the operation of farm businesses. However, in doing so it will need to be satisfied that it will not allow mainstream labour providers to circumvent the licensing system. terms 13. The terms of this exclusion could be varied in several ways in order to provide greater flexibility for farmer to farmer loans. The 20% rule could be increased to, say, 30%, 40% or 50%. Alternatively, the current reference period of three months could be extended to 6, 9 or 12 months. Combinations of variations in the 20% rule and the length of the reference If so, period could also be used to define the terms of this exclusion. A further option is to allow the loan of one or two workers between farmers without any restriction on the length of the loan but to impose a cap on the supply of more than one or two workers so that the loan of three or more workers would require a licence. 14. At present the terms of paragraph 4(b) only apply to loans of workers between farmers (including businesses engaged in forestry). It has been suggested that the terms of this provision could be extended to cover loans of workers between employers operating in other areas covered by the licensing scheme (such as food manufacturing).

15. Sub-paragraphs 4(a) and 4(c) provide, respectively, for the supply of workers between farmers Q9. D to do work on a farm which is the subject of a share farming agreement between the two fa farmers (4(a)) and the supply of a gang worker between farmers where the worker has been supplied by a labour provider (4(b)). Unlike the exclusion at sub-paragraph 4(b), the Government Q10. has not received representations that the terms of these exclusions are having an adverse impact on farming practices. Therefore we do not propose to change the terms of these exclusions. Parag Q4. Do you consider that the 20% rule restricts the flexible operation of mainstream 19. T farming practices involving the loan of workers between farmers? If your answer is u yes, do you have evidence to support your response? li Q5. Do you think that the terms of the exclusion for farmer to farmer loans of workers (i should be relaxed? If so, why and how? (i Q6. Should the terms of the exclusion for farmer to farmer loans be extended to short-term loans of workers to undertake non-agricultural activities covered by the Act? Q7. Do you agree that the terms of the Exclusions contained at sub-paragraphs 4(a) and (i 4(c) should remain unchanged? If not, why? (i Paragraph 5 of the Schedule to the Exclusions Regulations – Short-term services between 20. S farmers involving the use of a worker b th 16. This paragraph specifies those circumstances excluded from the scope of licensing when services w involving the use of a worker are supplied between farmers. To qualify for the exclusion the O service supplied must involve a one-off arrangement of less than two weeks (sub-paragraph b 5(a)). Furthermore, where the supplier of the service is using a worker he employs, then the sh 20% rule must be met (5(b)). Where the service involves the use of a worker provided by a th gangmaster, the farmer supplying the service must obtain the agreement of the gangmaster se that the worker can be used to deliver the service (5(c)). b 17. This paragraph largely reflects the terms of the exclusions provided at Paragraph 4 of the Q11. Schedule. This is necessary as the definition of acting as a gangmaster in the 2004 Act includes both the supply of workers and also the supply of services involving the use of workers to deliver that service. The Government is not intending to relax the limit on the duration of services Q12. provided by one farmer to another involving the use of gang workers. However it could be argued (for the same reasons identified in the discussion above about Paragraph 4 of the Schedule) that the limit could be relaxed where the service is delivered by directly Q13. employed workers. 18. It has been argued that condition (c) of the terms of this exclusion can be interpreted as standing on its own and not linked to condition (a). In this interpretation a farmer who provides a service to another farmer with the use of gang labour supplied by a third party is not constrained by the limitation over the length of duration of the service set at (a). Defra disagrees with this interpretation as it is our view that paragraph 5 should be construed in the way that it was intended with (c) being linked to (a). However, we appreciate that to some the meaning could appear ambiguous. In view of this we intend to review the wording of this exclusion in order to remove any ambiguity about its application. Q8. Does the 20% rule restrict the flexible operation of traditional farming practices involving the supply of services? If your answer is yes, what evidence do you have to support your response?

Do you agree that there is a need to review the wording of the exclusion to make it mpact clear that the provisions of the exclusion are interdependent? ons. Paragraph 13 (specialist workers) ream 19. This paragraph provides for the exclusion from licensing of the supply of a specialist worker to wer is undertake agricultural work. In order for the labour provider to qualify for exemption from licensing the worker supplied must meet the following conditions: rkers (i) The worker must be supplied to undertake work in which the worker is specialised, (ii) The labour user requires the worker to hold a qualification at or above NVQ Level 2 -term (or equivalent) which is relevant and necessary for the work the worker is supplied to undertake, ) and (iii) The labour user employs the worker supplied, and (iv) On the day the worker is supplied no other worker is supplied by the labour provider. ween 20. Several stakeholders have argued that the terms of this exclusion are overly prescriptive and should be relaxed. Some have suggested that the current limitation on the number of specialist workers that can be supplied at any one time should be increased from the current limit of one as skilled rvices workers are likely to be better able to protect their employment rights than unskilled workers. n the Others would like to see the removal of the condition which requires that the worker supplied must graph be employed by the labour user.

The supply of workers or services involving the use of workers between separate legal entities g Act which are incorporated bodies represents a supply for the purposes of the 2004 Act. nd the Therefore the incorporated body which supplies the worker or service must obtain a licence. work.

The supply of workers or services between separate corporate bodies in the same ownership is ed. In not uncommon in groups of companies where one company in the group is responsible for vision recruiting and organising the labour needs of the other companies in the group. It is argued that deliver this circumstance should be excluded from licensing as workers supplied between separate bodies within the same group are unlikely to be exploited as the supply is undertaken to meet the logistical needs of the group rather than for commercial purposes. rvices 24. By contrast, it could be argued that excluding this circumstance from licensing could open up a loophole through which, for instance, labour providers and users reorganise themselves into a any group of commonly owned incorporated companies under the same holding company in order eme? to avoid licensing. In view of this the Government would need to be satisfied that providing for an exclusion for a supply between corporate bodies in the same ownership does not provide an incentive for avoiding licensing in this way. Q17. Do you think that supplies between corporate bodies within the same ownership should be excluded from licensing? Q18. If we excluded this circumstance do you think it would be easy for labour providers and users to restructure their activities in order to take advantage of this exclusion?

Pea vine co-operatives Fore 25. It has been argued that members of an agricultural co-operative who provide labour to the 29. T co-operative in order to assist in the cultivation or harvest of the members’ crops should be o excluded from the licensing. in c 26. A typical scenario might involve that of a pea vine or sugar beet co-operative where cooperation (w between growers is necessary in order to purchase and operate expensive and specialised o harvesting equipment. At harvest time the co-operative will hire workers from its members to th harvest the crop of individual members using the machinery acquired by the co-operative. c This might involve the workers and machinery travelling from one holding to the next to is undertake the harvest until all of the holdings had been harvested. This could take 2-3 months w to complete. a 27. This arrangement falls within the definition of gangmaster activity in respect of the supply of a th worker by the co-operative member to the co-operative. In some instances it might be possible th for a member to obtain an exemption under the farmer to farmer loans provision of the 30. L Exclusions Regulations. However it is likely that most loans (due to the length of the harvest) will th fall foul of the 20% rule. re 28. Government policy is to encourage co-operative ventures in farming. In the case of a pea vine T or sugar beet co-operatives the Government would not want to hinder or impose an o unnecessary burden on co-operative effort by making it a requirement that each member of the 31. S co-operative who supplies a worker to the co-operative should obtain a gangmasters licence. fo However, the Government is not proposing to exclude from licensing the labour pools e maintained by co-operatives which are used to meet the day to day labour needs of the re members as these act no differently from mainstream labour providers. a Q19. Do you think that arrangements – such as pea vine co-operatives or sugar beet to co-operatives – where workers are loaned to the co-operative to undertake c harvesting duties for the co-operative should be excluded from the licensing Q20. arrangements?

Forestry industry o the 29. The definition of agricultural work contained in the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 is based uld be on the definition in the Agricultural Wages Act 1948. This provides that “agriculture” shall include “dairy farming, the production of any consumable produce which is grown for sale or consumption or other use for the purposes of a trade or business or of any other undertaking ration (whether carried on for profit or not) and the use of land as grazing, meadow or pasture land alised or orchard or osier land or woodland or for market gardens or nursery grounds”. In the light of ers to the inclusion in the definition of the use of land as woodland, Defra takes the view that all work rative. connected with the planting, establishment, maintenance and harvesting of woodland or forests ext to is agricultural work. Therefore a person who supplies a worker to do forestry work or uses a onths worker in the supply of a forestry service is regarded by the 2004 Act as acting as a gangmaster and is required to obtain a licence in respect of that activity. The inclusion of forestry within y of a the scope of the Act was confirmed by Defra Ministers during the passage of ossible the Bill. of the 30. Labour providers operating in the forestry industry are entitled to the same exclusions open to st) will their farming and contractor counterparts in agriculture. Probably the provision which is of most relevance to the forestry industry is the exemption of agricultural machinery services. a vine The provisions governing the loan of workers and the supply of specialist workers could also be se an of benefit to some operators in this sector. of the 31. Several stakeholder organisations and individuals in the forestry sector have argued that the cence. forestry sector should be taken out of the scope of the licensing scheme as there is little pools evidence of worker exploitation, the use of gang labour is low and the industry is already closely of the regulated by enforcement bodies such as the Health & Safety Executive. Against this, others argue that there are occasions when large numbers of seasonal and casual workers are supplied beet to undertake forestry work and these workers should be offered the same protection as their rtake counterparts in agriculture. nsing Q20. Do you think forestry should be removed from the scope of the licensing scheme? If yes, why? Q21. Should licensing apply only to part of the forestry sector? If yes, to which activities should it apply?

Since the Regulations came into force, some stakeholders have argued that they need to be revised in order to clarify their application; and to remove ng the certain agricultural activities from the scope of licensing. your
What are the policy objectives and the intended effects? hould To clarify the terms of the Gangmasters Licensing (Exclusions) Regulations 2006; and to remove from the licensing requirements those circumstances which do not represent gangmaster activity or where the risk of r that exploitation is minimal. hould What policy options have been considered? Please justify any preferred option. Ministers have made a public commitment to review the operation of the 2006 Regulations. The circumstances identified in the consultation as possible candidates for exclusion from licensing reflect those that have been g? brought to our attention by stakeholders since the original regulations were laid in Parliament in 2006. It is st be possible that others will be identified during the course of this consultation.

Evidence Base (for summary sheets) [Use this space (with a recommended maximum of 30 pages) to set out the evidence, analysis and detailed narrative from which you have generated your policy options or proposal. Ensure that the information is organised in such a way as to explain clearly the summary information on the preceding pages of this form.] tal cted Purpose and intended effect of the proposal tion Background 1. The Gangmasters Licensing (Exclusions) Regulations 2006 fine-tune the scope of the licensing arrangements by specifying circumstances where a person does not need to obtain a licence. In broad terms the current arrangements have mapped reasonably accurately those areas where providers of gang labour are active, while excluding peripheral labour supply arrangements which do not represent the supply of gang labour or where the risk of exploitation is low. However feedback received from stakeholders since the Regulations were made in 2006, suggests that some refinement may be necessary to slightly widen the range of excluded circumstances and to clarify the terms we have used to define the current exclusions. These are discussed in more detail in the consultation document. http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/gangmasters-regs/ to Rationale for Government intervention 2. Government intervention is necessary to amend the scope of the current Exclusions Regulations. This consultation will canvass views on the need to amend the Regulations. Consultation will ther Within Government 3. Defra has obtained the approval of DA Committee to consult on these proposals. The GLA and DARDNI have also been consulted and the Scottish Executive and the Welsh Assembly have been informed of our intention.
Public Consultation 4. A 13 week public consultation runs from 21 July 2008 to 20 October 2008. The responses to that consultation will be analysed after the consultation is complete.
Costs and benefits
Benefits 5. The principal benefit stemming from a relaxation in the terms of the Exclusions Regulations is e that it should provide greater flexibility for farmers engaged in informal agricultural practices, such as the loan of workers to other farmers. Revising the terms of the regulations is also /A intended to provide greater clarity to those labour providers uncertain as to their status under the scheme. This will enable people to carry out their businesses secure in the knowledge that ase) they are acting in accordance with the legislation. Where the new Regulations confirm that a licence is not required there will be a financial benefit in the annual saving to licence holders of not having to renew their licences. This is likely to be limited as few gangmasters are currently

It supply of specialist agricultural workers, quasi public organisations and pea vine and sugar beet p co-operatives having applied for a licence. o b 6. It is thought that two registered charities have applied for a licence. However, these charities are significant providers of labour in their own right and it is not the intention of this consultation 10. It to remove their activities from the scope of the scheme. The GLA is also aware that one in gangmaster is licensed in respect of the supply of workers between separate corporate bodies H within the same ownership. b c 7. In the forestry sector there are around 50 gangmasters licensed to supply workers to undertake to forestry work. The exclusion of this sector from licensing would yield savings to the sector in the form of licence fees that no longer have to be paid. However the savings to the GLA in the form Busin of lower costs to process and monitor licences are likely to be limited as licensed labour providers working in forestry represent around only 4% of the total number of labour providers registered 11. T with the GLA. Furthermore in the short term staff costs are fixed and in practical terms the g reduction in workload stemming from the exclusion of forestry is likely to be used in part by the GLA to increase the amount of compliance work it undertakes in the non-forestry sector. In view Cost of this the level of administrative savings stemming from the exclusion is likely to be modest. On 12. It the basis of the GLA’s forecast expenditure in 2008-09 on compliance activities it is estimated e that the savings to the GLA stemming from the removal of the forestry sector will fall within the a range of £0 to £58,000. it 8.

The principal r beet purpose of this proposal is to clarify the term of the Regulations and to remove from the scope of licensing those activities which do not represent gangmaster activity. This proposal will not bring additional gangmasters with the scope of the licensing scheme. es are tation 10. It is possible that the removal of some gangmasters from the scope of licensing could lead to an t one increase in licence fees as the GLA is required to cover its operating costs through fee income. bodies However, it is thought that the fee increase required to cover the loss of fee income is likely to be marginal. On the basis of around 1200 licence holders and the assumption that other GLA costs and revenues remain unchanged, it is estimated that the loss of fee income would need ertake to be recouped by an average fee increase of up to £20. in the e form Business sectors affected viders stered 11.

Enforcement costs in the and the cost of providing for an appeals mechanism will continue to be met by Government and it is not anticipated that these will change. Small firms impact test nual 13. The gangmaster industry is largely made up of small firms. Therefore small firms will be the principal beneficiary of any proposal to reduce the scope of the licensing scheme by revising the Exclusions Regulations. Competition Assessment 14. The impact of this proposal on competition in the labour provider industry is expected to be limited. It is possible that the exclusion of quasi public bodies could have an adverse impact on the competitiveness of licensed labour providers. However, this impact is likely to be very marginal as the two types of provider operate in largely separate segments of the industry and for different purposes. 000* 250 Equality and Fairness 15.
