Conservative — Spelthorne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 September 2025

Debate

Employment Rights: Impact on Businesses

Contribution

I thank the Minister, the shadow Minister and all hon. Members who have contributed to this debate. I fear that it has been a bit of a conversation of the deaf, but we will see whether the number of women employed in this country goes up or down. We will see whether the number of disabled people employed in this country goes up or down. We will see whether these new regulations contribute to growth in the economy, or to further shrinkage and further increases in unemployment. I fear for the British economy; I think we are heading in a really bad direction, and this Employment Rights Bill is going to turbocharge our getting there. Question put and agreed to.  Resolved, That this House has considered the impact of employment rights on businesses.
