Migration policy survey for the TUC

Recent polling by Hold Sway on behalf of the TUC shows strong support among the British public for migration policy proposals:

• Fining companies who exploit migrant labour to undercut local workers: 75% feel positive about this policy.

• Set up a Fair Work Agency to investigate bad employers and enforce workers’ rights: 71% positive.

• Make companies legally responsible for labour abuses in their supply chain: 68% positive.

• Increase funding for labour inspectors: 69% positive.

• Blacklist companies guilty of serious exploitation from winning public contracts: 73% positive.

The survey shows that across these proposals, support is higher among key voter groups: those who switched from Conservative to Labour between the 2019 and 2024 General Elections; and those who voted Labour in 2024 but now would support Reform.
