The Labour Market Enforcement Strategy 2021 to 2022 was produced by Matthew Taylor, the Interim Director of Labour Market Enforcement from August 2019 to January 2021. It sets outs his recommendations to improve state-led enforcement of employment rights, including measures to be taken by the 3 labour market enforcement bodies:

• Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA)
