Jan 21 - “In-Depth Consideration” Of Agency Workers Issue Delayed By Brexit, Says Government

The Government has said that the “intensive demands” of the Brexit agenda have delayed the “in-depth consideration” of the issue of agency workers.

A spokesperson said: “The Cabinet met this morning and discussed the question of Agency workers who are presently deployed in the Civil Service.

“This was an issue that the Chief Minister had already committed to tackle in his May Day speech. The truth is that the intensive demands of the Brexit agenda have served to delay the in-depth consideration of this matter.

“The Cabinet has completed its preliminary examination of this question and requested further information in order to assist with its deliberations. Ministers have also requested more statistical data in order in obtain a clear representation of the position.

“This work will continue, with the Cabinet resuming its discussions tomorrow morning.”
