The Security Bureau convened the first meeting of the Task Force against Illegal Employment today. The task force was established by the Security Bureau last month, comprising members from the Labour & Welfare Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Transport & Logistics Bureau, the Immigration Department, the Police Force, the Labour Department and the Transport Department. At the meeting, the task force discussed the current illegal employment situation and agreed to enhance interdepartmental co-ordination on various fronts, including formulating overall response strategies against illegal employment, boosting intelligence collection and intelligence exchange with the Mainland, enforcing laws rigorously, leveraging technology, and co-ordinating publicity and education. Task force convenor and Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung said: “The establishment of the task force demonstrates the Government’s commitment and determination to combat illegal employment.” He encouraged citizens to report illegal employment-related activities by making use of the Immigration Department’s Dedicated Hotline for Reporting Illegal Workers at 3861 5000. “Since the launch of the hotline two weeks ago, the Immigration Department has already received over 100 reports.” The task force will combat illegal employment from various aspects, targeting individual key industries, Mr Tang added.
