In February 2013, the Metropolitan Police announced that it would carry out a major investigation with respect to allegations that the police colluded with the blacklisting of construction workers. The investigation is to be supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. The decision to hold the investigation follows mounting evidence that both the police and the security forces were involved in the blacklisting of construction workers via the Consulting Association.
In January 2013, the government announced that it will introduce further limits to compensation for unfair dismissal.
