6.1. As the Government stated in our original submission to this enquiry, producing a single aggregate number for seasonal labourers in the UK is challenging. The varied and temporary nature of seasonal roles, the culture of workers moving between multiple employers across the season, and the multitude of sources which growers utilise when recruiting, provides significant challenges for both government and industry to collect, measure and agree on a single figure. 6.2. The Government will continue making improvements to our understanding of the demand in the food supply chain on an annual basis, making use of all available data from within government, such as HMRC, ONS and Defra survey data, and in collaboration with industry. We will also make use of evaluations and lessons learned from government initiatives such as the Seasonal Workers Pilot and the 2020 ‘Pick for Britain’ campaign which improve our understanding of seasonal recruitment.
