Labour Inspectorate. (21 Jun 2006)

Arthur Morgan: I welcome the announcement of the increase in the number of labour inspectors to 90 in the partnership talks. The Minister should have done this some time ago, but well done, nevertheless. I have a couple of questions arising from that. How soon will recruitment begin? Will it be pretty much immediately? Is he talking about the end of 2007 in terms of completion of the recruiting and training...

Labour Inspectorate. (21 Jun 2006)

Arthur Morgan: The Minister of State gave me good information, but he did not answer how he arrived at the figure of 90. Is the figure a threshold or a ceiling? If the level of immigration continues, will he consider extending it beyond 90? Does he expect the level of enforcement and enforcement actions by inspectors to increase as a consequence of the new recruiting process?
