The Worker Support Centre, together with other members of the Seaonal Worker Interest Group, have written to the House of Lords Horticultural Sector Committee to raise queries on aspects of the government response to the House of Lords Horticultural Sector Committee Report of session 2022-23, asking the Committee to raise these with Defra and any other relevant stakeholders.
