In June 2005, my Department issued a White Paper on the Review of the Employment Agency Act 1971. The deadline for submissions was 15 July 2005. A total of nine submissions were received.
My Department is currently examining these submissions. Following further consultations with the various interests, the heads of a Bill will be prepared and Government approval sought to have a Bill drafted by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to the Government. It is hoped to publish this Bill by early 2006.
