Leicester sweatshops a ‘modern-day scourge’, says Patel
Priti Patel has confirmed a cross-Government task force has been formed to stop the exploitation of workers.
It follows reports that staff in factories in Leicester are earning as little as £3 an hour.
Minimum wage is £8.72 for people aged over 25.
The factories also have unsafe conditions with no evidence of social distancing measures being taken.
