Apology

scotsmanIn a television review published on 21 April of a programme entitled The Tattie Howkers, which dealt with issues surrounding migrant agricultural workers, we stated: "There are still agricultural workers coming to Scotland from countries such as Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. They’re brought over by recruitment bosses such as Bernard Gaughan – grandson of Irish field workers, son of a ganger. Perhaps they’re not sleeping in cowsheds, but they too slip under the radar for most of us." We would like to make it clear Mr Gaughan has never brought workers into the UK, that his company, Total Labour Solutions, operates under the strict licensing laws of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority and that Mr Gaughan has campaigned to improve the rights of workers in this sector. We apologise for the error.
