Schedules Schedule 2: Functions in relation to labour market
This schedule contains amendments to other Acts that are necessary to extend the remit of the GLAA to other labour market enforcement functions.
	Paragraphs 1-3 amend the Employment Agencies Act 1973 so that in addition to appointing his own officers to enforce the Act, the Secretary of State can also make arrangements for officers of other relevant authorities, including the GLAA, to enforce it.
	Paragraphs 4-7 amend the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 so that in addition to appointing his own officers or arranging for any Minister of the Crown or government department or anybody performing functions on behalf of the Crown or their officers to enforce the Act, the Secretary of State can also make arrangements for the GLAA to enforce it.
	Paragraphs 8-17 inserts new sections 11A and 30A of the Modern Slavery Act, giving the Secretary of State the power to make arrangements for the GLAA to enforce those offences within Parts 1 and 2 of the Act that are defined as labour market offences. This would enable the GLAA to investigate offences under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour or human trafficking. It would also enable the GLAA to apply to the courts to obtain Slavery and Trafficking Prevention Orders and Slavery and Trafficking Risk Orders and investigate breaches of their Orders, under Part 2 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
	Currently section 33 of the Modern Slavery Act requires the Secretary of State to issue guidance to those bodies in the exercise of their powers under Part 2 of the Act. Paragraph 17 amends Section 33 to require the Secretary of State to also issue guidance to the GLAA, reflecting their new role.
