(2) In this Part—
(a) references to an agency worker include, where the context requires, a former agency worker, and
(b) where that is the case, references in relation to the agency worker to a work-finding agency, and references (however expressed) to a person for and under the supervision and direction of whom the agency worker works, are to be read accordingly.
(3) An individual is an “agency worker” for the purposes of this Part—
