They set out the procedure for licensing gangmasters covered by the provisions of the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 and the conditions that will apply to the licences.\nRule 3 sets out requirements relating to applications for licences.\nRule 4 and the Schedule specify the licence conditions that apply to licence holders.\nRule 6 makes provisions for fees.\nRule 7 provides that a failure to comply with these Rules by a licence holder is, so far as it causes damage, actionable.\nRule 8 makes provision relating to contracts affected by these Rules.\nThe Schedule contains licence conditions which apply to licence holders.\nNo impact assessment has been prepared for this instrument, although a regulatory impact assessment and partial regulatory impact assessment were prepared for S.I. 2006/660 and 2006/2373, and are still considered to be accurate.
