Well, the statute of labourers was a law passed by English government/Parliament to prevent the surviving peasants from freedom.

The Statute of Labourers was an act passed by the English Parliament under King Edward III to prevent the peasants from obtaining higher wages. Do to the decline in population after the Black Plague the peasants had demanded higher wages, and so to counter, the Landowners asked Parliament to pass the act. This further lead to - indirectly though - peasants being denied their freedom.
