HC Deb 05 March 2002 vol 381 cc252-3W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if her Department is reviewing Timeplan's licence to operate. [36603]

Alan Johnson

I have been asked to reply.

The requirement for employment agencies to be licensed was removed by the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994. I shall shortly be putting forward proposals for revised employment agency regulations that will greatly strengthen the requirements on agencies supplying teachers and others who work with vulnerable people.
