He knows he cannot introduce specifically targetted legislation, but he also knows a climate of fear and uncertainly may achieve close to the same aim.
The fact that a "regular" company is "legal" won't help anyone if agencies are too scared of the risk. Exactly the same scenario as being self employed.
