Employment Rights BillContribution
The effect of this amendment is that, where an individual is arrested for a labour market offence by an enforcement officer who is authorised to exercise police powers, and the individual (when asked) fails or refuses to account for an object, substance or mark on their person, clothing, etc, or to account for their presence in a particular place, a court or jury may draw inferences from that failure or refusal in any criminal proceedings against the individual for the offence.
