(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision for the constitution, structure and other matters relating to the operation of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority. The Authority was established by section 1 of the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”), which came into force on 1st December 2004.
These Regulations revoke and remake the Gangmasters (Licensing Authority) Regulations 2005. The principal modification concerns the membership of the Board. Previously the Board included nineteen representative members of various interested organisations and nine members appointed by various government bodies. Under regulation 4 the Board will now consist of up to nine members all appointed by the Secretary of State.
