6th March 2008

These Rules amend the Gangmasters (Licensing Conditions) (No.2) Rules 2006 (S.I. 2006/2373) (“the 2006 Rules”) which establish the procedure for licensing gangmasters covered by the provisions of the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 and the conditions that will apply to the licences.

Rule 7 of the 2006 Rules is amended to clarify the basis on which the licence fee is calculated, to remove the reduction to the fee available for some applications for a licence to gather shellfish, and to prescribe the fees payable for applications for, and renewals of, licences for the financial year 2008-2009. The previous annual fees were Fee band A £9000, Fee band B £4500, Fee band C £1750, and Fee band D £400.

Rule 8 of the 2006 Rules is amended to remove the provisions relating to fees for application inspections.
