Agency workers will be included in a ban on "exploitative" zero hour contracts.

The new rules will mean that agency workers will have to be offered a minimum number of hours a week.

The Trades Union Congress welcomes the inclusion of agency workers in the ban.

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation said the change should not "undermine" the "flexibility" of agency work.
