Following criticism that unpaid workers were used during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, a spokesperson from Downing Street has said that the incident was an “one-off“.
In response to criticisms from the former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott that the Government was “exploiting cheap Labour”, a Downing Street spokesperson said that Saturday’s events were an “isolated incident” and dismissed claims that similar events may take place during the Olympics.
Tomorrow’s people have also released a statement today outlining that people where left over night at London Bridge without shelter because of a “timing error”.
The statement further reads:
(Tomorrows’ People) are working with our staff to review all aspects of the situation and to offer support to clients involved. We are also in dialogue with CPUK to ensure that if our clients participate in any future work experience with the company that all measures are taken to guarantee their safety and security
