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.
Kate Dearden
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
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.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
