This brings me to Amendment 279ZZA tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Carter of Haslemere. I would like to reassure the noble Lord that we intend to maintain all oversight arrangements in place for the existing bodies, including the Independent Office for Police Conduct’s oversight of the Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority’s functions. These oversight arrangements are provided for in paragraph 74 of Schedule 10 and will be set out further in secondary legislation and in the fair work agency’s framework document. I can confirm that the fair work agency will have a clear and transparent complaints procedure modelled on the procedures of the current bodies, including the Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority. Therefore, I hope the noble Lord recognises that this amendment is unnecessary.
