When do the AWR changes come into effect?

A couple of weeks ago the government announced amendments to the Agency Workers Regulations. These were the rescinding of the Swedish Derogation and calculating holiday pay based on 52hrs, not 12 weeks average.

Anyone know when these come into effect?

    Ah well. Had a look on the Gov website and it appears things have been updated and as usual there's yet another get out clause for the agencies that's going to continue to cost me £4/hr as I'm on a "Pay between assignments" contract but at least that's been changed from the paltry 8hrs it used to be to 50% of the highest week of pay which given I had one week with 70hrs is a notable sum. Unfortunately like the Swedish Derogation I'm unlikely to use it. Bah humbug.
